It's so easy to get used to playing a role. Then all of the sudden when you're tossed out of it, it's almost like you have to remember how to act again!

What's nice about acting is that you're not just left with yourself all the time, but you get to see the world through so many different people's eyes.

I've been really lucky thus far with acting, in that I can do things I believe in and feel good about, and feel good about myself. If for some reason one day that ends, I won't do it anymore. If I feel like I have to compromise myself to continue to be in this industry, I don't want to do that.

Acting allows me the freedom to let go, to be in the moment, to be spontaneous. I no longer have the fear of losing, of failure.

Sometimes, as an actor, you're so deeply immersed in a part that you lose control of it. If you're really lucky, a few times in your life it'll take you somewhere you never expected to go. It really blows the top off your understanding of your craft.

As an actor, if you were to simplify what acting really is, it's about letting go.

As an actor, I think you should always disappear a little. I act in order to lose myself.

With any role, you're extending yourself and acting out things that never happened to you.

When you act, you're always playing a version of yourself. You can't bring more to the role than what you are.

There are times when I don't take roles because I don't want to be perceived a certain way.
