I always love to learn new things. That's the reason I like being an actor.

My immediate family was always very supportive. It was my own fear of the rest of the world not accepting me, the rest of our society not accepting my wish to be an actor.

I can speak of actors that I love. I love Cate Blanchett, Viola Davis, her tenacity. I love Charlize Theron. She's so surprising and so exhilarating, the kinds of projects she takes on. Marion Cotillard as well.

Even in my dreams of being an actor, my dream was not in the celebrity. My dream was in the work that I wanted to do.
