Cinema is a director's medium, so you're saying, "What do you want?" Being an actor is about adapting - physically and emotionally. If that means you have to look great for it and they can make you look great, then thank you. And if you have to have everything washed away, then I'm willing to do that too. ↗

I have a little bit of a belly, a tiny bit of pooch. It's the one thing I don't want to lose. I just like having some softness. If I lose that, then Tom might leave me. ↗

I love acting but I don't like all of the other stuff associated with it. The interest in celebrities, the press, the Internet, when your identity becomes mixed up in the way people are preceving you. ↗

I think actors are getting so much more power these days, but I'm not. I stay very much away from the decisions, the way in which things are orchestrated, what's been changed. I just try to stay completely in the role as the actor and as the character. ↗

I would rather be tough on myself than have other people be tough on me. ↗

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. ↗

If you're going to be with someone, you're with them, you're committed to them. I'm not sort of flitting around. ↗

It was very natural for me to want to disappear into dark theater, I am really very shy. That is something that people never seem to fully grasp because, when you are an actor, you are meant to be an exhibitionist. ↗

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions. ↗

Salary stories are intrusive. Do you ask your neighbour what they earn for their job? ↗
