LIfe has got all those twists and turns. You've got to hold on tight and off you go.
You don't have to be naked to be sexy.
Even from a very early age, I knew I didn't want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous.
I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'
When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness.
Now my ability to notice things and respond to things and be here is far more profound. With that comes happiness, with it comes sadness, but it's a beautiful life.
If you enter the dark side of life, and come through it, you emerge with more strength and passion.
I think that the most difficult thing is allowing yourself to be loved, so receiving the love and feeling like you deserve it is a pretty big struggle. I suppose that's what I've learnt recently, to allow myself to be loved.
I'm drawn to the psychology of really interesting, flawed people.
I love acting, but it's much more fun taking the kids to the zoo.
I suppose expectations are strange and I shy away from them. And the whole point of being an actor is to connect.
It's good to have a little distance. If you discuss your love too much, it just damages it.
An actor who's a control freak, that doesn't work. We have to be malleable. We cannot come in and try to control or dominate.
To be an actor you have to have a certain amount of madness in you. That’s why, when people meet you and you seem very together, they are quite surprised - they don’t see you behind closed doors.
