I get to choose things that interest me as opposed to trying to get any job that will have me, which for a vast majority of actors is the case.

From an egotistical point of view, I'm always interested in roles that push me as a person. I'm interested in humans as animals and as products of society.

It's my deepest interest as an actor: I love discovering how human beings work, how their flaws reveal themselves - how to learn and grow from that - and how characters teach me things as a woman and as a parent.

Acting allows me to explore new worlds, to discover characters by delving into their lives, and ultimately to become someone else entirely.

You know, it's recently come into focus for me why I want to be an actor: It's because of the connection I feel to people.

My curiosity and my appetite for evolving as an actor is one of the main components of me still working today in the business.

I love acting, but I want to explore other things.

I guess I've been extremely keen on theatre, on getting on to the stage, taking on different roles, enacting vocations, personalities, people, situations, and I guess that's the interest that has driven me to work in movies.

Whether it's acting, directing or writing, I want to be involved in the film industry for the rest of my life.

I feel my job as an actor is to explore all sides of humanity.
