Acting is not terribly important work, and I have always felt a bit of guilt about pursuing something that is so selfish. I love doing it, but it is never something that feels like it's going to change or save the world.

It's easy for me to be motivated and inspired by seeing somebody who just goes all out to do something.

I've been fortunate that I can be selective enough to do acting when it's really furthering what I want to do with my life.

I always try to make sure that I stay connected to theater so I continue to be inspired. Not that I'm not inspired by television.

I've had a lazy career. Sometimes one film a year, sometimes none. I'm walking around in the street and doing this other thing, living, that I'm much more interested in. I just do some acting on the side.

I always think I love work, and I knew early on that I wanted to be an actress. Then I meet people who have truly dedicated their lives to acting, and I realise that I'm so completely in the back seat.

I'm less needy about needing to express myself through acting. I have many different lives outside of this that are extremely fulfilling.

I'm expressing myself by acting. I'm learning about myself and making a living. I hope to do much more of it, so I can contribute my share to the world.

Acting is a lot of waiting to be picked, and I like to do a lot of things at once. I think I will have to find things that are totally mine. I have so much comfort that school and my academic life are totally mine. I hope that there's not a lot of idleness in my future.

I like to work on records when I feel inspired, not because it's expected of me.
