“I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.”
“If there's one thing that I've done on purpose it's to take whatever job, so long as it's interesting and challenging, whether it's theatre, radio, TV or film.”
“I don't think I'm exactly gregarious, you know. I'm not usually known as the loud person in the room.”
“I have an instinct to want to be part of a group of people. I feel safe there. That's why I was in school for so long.”

“Traits like humility, courage, and empathy are easily overlooked - but it's immensely important to find them in your closest relationships.”
“It's very hard to put forth a film that's about love and the joy of love and for it not to be patronising and not make people nauseous or make them roll their eyes.”

“My family is from the South, and I can remember all those ladies I grew up with, like my great-aunts, who had handkerchiefs. There's something sweet about them.”
“Courtroom dramas can be boring.”
“You have to relish the challenge of television.”
