Even from a very early age, I knew I didn't want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous.
I think each role takes a little from you and circles around you for the rest of your life. I don't think you ever abandon any of them.
I love acting, but it's much more fun taking the kids to the zoo.
I think it's important that we don't all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything's fine.
I'm interested in going places that I haven't been. And I'm interesting in working with people that I feel are dangerous and sort of push me in different places.
I'm drawn to the psychology of really interesting, flawed people.
I believe that as much as you take, you have to give back. It's important not to focus on yourself too much.
LIfe has got all those twists and turns. You've got to hold on tight and off you go.
Dealing with these emotions as an actress is like being a boxer put into the ring.
Happiness, that's obviously different for everybody, but what I call my joy, the thing that makes me feel incredibly satiated, is my family, and then I get to go and play out all of my ideas and feelings through all these different characters.
Now my ability to notice things and respond to things and be here is far more profound. With that comes happiness, with it comes sadness, but it's a beautiful life.
People can tell you what to do, but ultimately, we're all going to die, so how do you want to live?
Violence against women is an appalling human rights violation. But it is not inevitable. We can put a stop to this.
I dig my heels in every now and then, and think 'I'm not going to do what's expected or what people think is the right thing.' So I have a little bit of that in my personality.
