“It's always a weird feeling being on the red carpet, but the more I go, the more I try to connect myself to the here and now. And breathe. That's the way I make the experience a good one. If I think too much - if my head is somewhere else because I'm stressed out - it shows.”
“All of the characters I've had the chance to create are survivors. But we live in a world where surviving makes up most of what we do.”

“I never look at any pictures of myself on the red carpet. I can't do that.”
