“The most important thing to me is my work, and reaching people through my work.”

My main goal as an actor, with my craft or whatever poncy way you want to say it, is to always take the audience with me.

You can be born with a title, but not respect. You have to earn that.

It’s so important to me. It’s my passion.

I don’t really watch a lot of TV, to be honest. I’m more of a movie girl, or I Netflix stuff.

A bit of a crisis of faith, I suppose.

I want to touch people’s lives, and bring them along with me.

The worst reaction someone can have is, “eh.”

Nobody wants to watch perfect people.

I love it when you like a character, and then she does something you don’t like

Just being an actor is extremely bizarre, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Auditioning is extremely bizarre.

And you hate her for a while – then you love her again.

I’d like to see her have unlikable moments that the audience understands and sympathizes with.

To make them feel for me, or to make them hate me, I want a reaction. I want their emotions.

I did some soul-searching, took a break and decided I was going to live my life only for me.

I had a moment a few years ago where I wasn’t sure if I was acting for myself or because people expected it of me.

The most important thing is insight, that is to be – curious – to wonder, to mull, and to muse why it is that man does what he does.

The strongest influences in my life and my work are always whomever I love.

The first and most imperative necessity in war is money, for money means everything else — men, guns, ammunition.

A cold and moist brain is an inseparable companion to folly.

The most important thing is insight, that is to be-curiosity-to wonder, to mull, and to muse why it is that man does what he does, and if you have that, then I don’t think the talent makes much difference, whether you’ve got it or not.

These days, most nature photographers are deeply committed to the environmental message

Oftentimes, the most important decisions I make are the ones I don’t put much thought into.

I lived abroad most of my life in insular international communities.
