I really love to act; I love everything about it. I've never had this addiction to being known. I mean, sure, if you go into acting, there's part of you that is saying, 'I want attention' but I was brought up to work to deserve attention, and it is the work, not the trappings that are important

It ain't easy to break out of a mold, but if you do your work, people will ultimately see what you're capable of.

The good people constantly search for something different.
