When you work with actors, what you're hoping to absorb is good ways to be an actor as opposed to how to handle being famous.

I've never been interested in being famous. I enjoy acting. That's what's important to me.

Acting isn't a sure thing. We're not set to have jobs for the rest of lives, and fame is really fickle.

You know, acting is very fascinating. But being an actress is not, because you become so concentrated on yourself.

Why would anyone want to be famous, certainly not me. My only goal in an acting career is to be able to work full time as an actor, filmmaker. When I get to that level, which I will, in this business where I can spend one hundred percent of my time honing my craft, then I will be complete.

Acting is a life experience. I'm always learning things when I'm making a movie. So the fame part of it is fine when you consider what you get out of this job.

If you want to be an actor, you have to do it because you love acting, not because you want to be a celebrity.

There was a period when I really had to ask myself, 'What does acting mean to me?' I'm not someone who's content being famous, with that whole lifestyle. I had to realize I could find a balance between what I like to do and what people think you're 'supposed' to do as an actress.

I've always been passionate about acting. I haven't been passionate about being famous.

Acting is in your soul.
