“I always wanted pink hair.”
“I'm waiting for them to make 'Thundercats'. I would love to be Cheetara.”
“I grew up in a very small town and didn't realise till later that I had an adventurous side. When I went to theatre school at 18, I came into my own and let loose.”
“I've really gotten to play a lot of different things, starting with 'Southpaw.' For 'Spotlight,' I got to play this amazing journalist, Sacha Pfeiffer, who worked at the 'Boston Globe' when they broke the story about the sex scandal in the Catholic Church.”
“I was just finishing up 'Spotlight' in Toronto - I finished it on a Tuesday and started 'True Detective' on a Friday. So I was missing rehearsals, unfortunately, which I hate and why I never like to work back-to-back.”
“I think a lot of people are with the one they're meant to be with. I see it watching my parents because they've been together for so long and are still very much in love. I'm just sort of in awe of that.”
“My mother's parents died when I was quite young, so I would like to be able to go back and know those people as an adult.”
“You have to be really open to your acting partners and believe in the story.”
“I can be quite surprised by what makes me cry, but it's usually spiritual things.”
“I've had heartbreaking auditions where they don't even look at you. You're out before you're in.”
“You know, I have some issues. But I just love to play different characters all the time, and I try not to repeat myself too much.”
“A kiss with anyone, on or off camera, can be intimidating. I've been kissing for nearly two decades now, and I'm always convinced I'm not doing it right. Chemistry is so important in a great kiss. You can act your way through anything, but it's hard with a kiss.”
“I think love is the through line and it's universal and it doesn't matter what period of time, time or place, or people, that's something we all connect to. That's the thin thread that I think keeps it altogether.”
“I have a certain curiosity for life that drives me and propels me forward.”
“It's the messiness of life that ultimately leads you to the most interesting things. Everyone asks what you would do over, and I don't know because then you have this story to tell, and if you did everything over and made it perfect, what would you talk about?”
“I do have a side of me that would just love to be stuck in the woods and have to stick it out and be really resourceful.”
“I look at the world through a green lens now, but you can't make yourself crazy. That feeling of green guilt can be really inhibiting. It's about a changing mind-set, remembering to turn off the water when you are brushing your teeth.”
“החלום שלי הוא לחיות במקום אחד קבוע, לגדל בעצמי ירקות ולעבוד בערוגות הכרוב שלי.”
“פריז היא עיר מרהיבה ומלאת השראה, ולא משנה באיזה סמטה תצלם, זה תמיד יצא יפה.”
“שחקנים נוהגים להתאהב במהלך צילומים, ממש כמו בכל מקום עבודה, בו אתה שוהה הרבה זמן יחד עם עוד אנשים.”
