Most of my choices come about through some kind of intuition or instinct, and if I need to, I'll post-rationalize them, intellectually, afterwards. But generally, they come about just by feeling.

I think I've always had to pick and choose whatever I want to work on. If I'm not happy with what I'm doing, it's probably not going to end up that interesting.

I like to do things sort of intuitively, I think.

I make all my decisions on intuition.

I go by intuition. Work-wise, that means asking myself if a role will push me outside my comfort zone, challenge me to learn something new.

And I think I often choose to do something because it's quite different from what I've done before.

There are conscious reasons and unconscious reasons why I pick something. You know, I have to be moved by the story and usually that means it has to touch me in some kind of personal place.

I'm not by nature a terribly intuitive person; I need to build a situation in which I will behave more intuitively, and that has really changed the life of my work - I found a way to trick myself into being intuitive.

All my career, all that I've really done has been based on emotion and intuition and gravitating toward what sounds good.

Once I decide I want to do something, I just work really hard and I do it, and I just know it's going to work. I think really positively.
