Quote

For me, acting comes straight from the heart. In that sense I don't act at all. I think that to feel the character's pain I have to be myself. Somewhere audiences see that.

I love actors. I'm empathetic to them. I understand what they go through. But I didn't want to be an actor.

Actors have an opportunity to use storytelling as a way to solve pain.

I really like to hear actors talk about acting, but I don't really like hearing myself talk.

I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor.

I am not one of those actresses who loves acting.

You suffer as an actor. It's difficult to be an actor and live a good life, especially today.

You never really know why you become an actor: it's a visceral thing, an emotional thing.

The minute I start to talk about acting, I realize that I can't. You know, it's an abstract thing, a little bit mysterious even if you do it for a living.

The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.
