To be able to analyze plays and novels is so relevant to acting.

I'd love to do more independent films.

Like anything, you've gotta find the humanity in the characters.

I'm selfish when it comes to work. I'm like, Oh, that will be fun! I wanna do that! I never think beyond my participation in a project.

I'm so used to taping myself and sending it off and never hearing back. I started to believe that nobody actually ever sees my tapes, apart from my agent.

It's important to know the kind of character that you need to be building up to, throughout the series.

I'm getting more selective, the more I do. As an actor, you want to do a variety of things, but first and foremost, it's the script, the quality of the script and the part. If the script is great and it's a part that I believe and I believe the world, that's rarer than you think.

I love the opportunity to do lots of different kinds of projects - independent films and big studio epics as well.

True love, especially first love, can be so tumultuous and passionate that it feels like a violent journey.
