“I am learning on every job I do. There is something new every time.”

You never see a normal spot, a bag under the eye or an unplucked eyebrow, because that’s not how Hollywood works.

I grew up in a very loud and dramatic household, and we loved being in the spotlight.

I was acting with all my childhood heroes: Meryl Streep, Saoirse Ronan, all of those amazing women.

I got a really good insight into the world of wrestling.

There’s always going to be pressure, and there’s always going to be an area where you disappoint. As a storyteller, you have to understand that.

I can’t remember a Friday when I was younger when I wasn’t eating a pizza, flirting with the barman.

Why shouldn’t there be more epic, brilliant female characters onscreen?

Until you try, you don’t know what you can’t do.

If you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock.

The best thing to do is dive with your imagination ~ you can never drown yourself.

A man is the sum of his actions, of what he has done, of what he can do, Nothing else.
