I find it quite hard to sum up my relationship in a sound bite. I feel that it trivializes it for other people's pleasure. It's an adventure.
I always think that the most interesting characters are those that are trying to cover something or those that have some sense of bravado or composure.
People just want to know something, anything. It's all the stuff you never want to talk about, the private stuff.
With Ricky Gervais, it's all shades of wrong, it's my kind of humor.
Watch the History Channel if you want it literal and historically perfect.
It's sort of a meat market, the whole awards thing, and I don't think you can predict it anymore - who's going to like what you've done, if it's worthy or not. And hopefully, that's not why you make a film, because if you're distracted by that, or only striving for that, you don't do it justice.
I'm kind of effectively bipolar.
The more we mask ourselves, the freer we're able to be within ourselves.
It's always better just to do work that you're really proud of and work that you enjoy because really all you have are the choices you make and that's it and who knows after that. I think that's what I love in acting.
Things happen in the way they usually should. I'm a pretty fatalistic person.
I chop a lot of onions because I love cooking, and the times where I've never cried chopping onions is when I'm not thinking about it, when I'm talking to someone or I'm listening to music.
I don't think I'm the best singer in the world, for sure, but I loved doing it [in Into the Woods]. ...I'll always find it tough, singing in front of people.
When you're in love, you're so happy that you want to tell people about it. But now I have to censor myself. You need to protect the happiness you have.
It's quite hard to faze me. I'm fairly un-shockable.
