When we would walk into parties ... I might as well have been the woodwork. I found it fascinating to watch how people fawn over Nicole's ethereal, extraterrestrial beauty.
It's not about me in a wierd way its about the people who help get me here.
I always try to push through fear. I won't be crippled by it. People say, "Oh you take such risks", or "You're brave." And I'm like, 'Well, if you knew - inside I'm really frightened!' But the way people navigate fear and pain is fascinating... The more you feel, the stronger the pain. And the more you engage in life, the more you have to lose.
These different people that I play become the loves of my life.
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.
People can tell you what to do, but ultimately, we're all going to die, so how do you want to live?
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.
I love working with people who are inspired and obsessive.
People say that jealousy is the greatest enemy of love. They’re wrong. The greatest enemy of love is boredom.
To be an actor you have to have a certain amount of madness in you. That’s why, when people meet you and you seem very together, they are quite surprised - they don’t see you behind closed doors.
Ultimately, you're left with the people you love and who love you- everything else fades into oblivion.
My life collapsed. People ran from me because suddenly it was 'Oh my God! It's over for her now!'
I would rather be tough on myself than have other people be tough on me.
