A huge part of acting in movies is appetite. You do your best work when you've got a lot of appetite and you really want to embrace something. When you get tired you don't have that hunger.

The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it... It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am - it seems I change every day.

Acting is still of course what I love to do most. The beauty of it is that by changing characters it never gets boring.

I have learned that acting is not about beauty.

I think the beauty of working with young people is they remind you of the spirit of acting and it's just a big play.

People think that if you look fairly reasonable you can't possibly act and as I only care about acting I think beauty can be a great handicap.

To me teamwork is the beauty of our sport where you have five acting as one. You become selfless.

Acting is magical. Change your look and your attitude and you can be anyone.

I saw 'Taxi Driver ' and 'Taxi Driver' kind of saved my life. The scene where Robert De Niro is looking at himself in the mirror saying 'You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Who the hell else are you talkin' to?' That's the scene that changed my life by changing my attitude about acting.

I'm a big fan of Courtney Love. I love Hole and I love her acting and I love her attitude. I just hope I never meet her in a dark alley.
