I think we are living in pretty scary times and people are looking for inspiration and are also more open to the spiritual possibilities.
That's the beauty of being an actress, is that you hopefully get to have different roles and really stretch yourself. This is really what I've been working for a while. I've been in the business for a minute, and it's an opportunity like this that I've been really working towards.
I still go to acting class. I love the craft. It's just so much fun for me, and I'm always a student.
It's the scariest thing in the world, going to acting class, because first of all, there's a lot of pressure. I just go back to being that fourth grader who couldn't, like, sit still in her seat.
I think now we just know way too much about our celebrities. It's not that interesting when you know that much about people.
We see everything. We see what celebrities buy at the supermarket. It's ridiculous. It's that visibility. I'm confused by this whole celebrity-obsessed culture.
I'm proud of people who have the determination and the fearlessness to actually go and face their demons and get better.
Because celebrities' lives are so visible, I think it makes it look lighter than it is.
I am a man with an open mind. I really don't know anything, but I'm very interested in the spiritual and the material.
I hope to never stop growing. I hope that with every role I play, I keep adding layers to my craft. I love acting and I study religiously with my coach.
I really like nice forearms - nice strong hands and forearms. I love that because then they can wear a watch really well.
I liked the monsters, I liked them because I couldn't understand how something so scary could also be so good. It got me thinking as a very early age, and I had a lot of rehearsal.
I like a mysterious man. I like a man who reads and is knowledgeable about the world, but who doesn't have to brag about it.
I'm very free with my sexuality, but not everywhere all the time. I pick and choose when I do nudity, and who I do it for when I'm working, and when I'm doing it. I've done nudity twice in a film.
