It's not about the money with me.

What shocks me is that so many people leave care and become homeless, and when you're homeless you get into crime, prostitution and drugs, and it is a vicious circle. That's what we need to change.

Some directors cast you because they trust you to do the performance – but then they forget to direct you.

I can’t act without music very well.

I think anybody who has been abused as a kid – and I was abused as a kid, by various people – will say it’s irrational because violence is irrational.

I believe it is my duty as a performer to raise issues in the world of things we’re afraid to look at.

I think there’s a very fine line between the type of performing that some actors do, and being in a state in your mind where you actually believe what’s going on. If we weren’t actors, what would we do with that ability? Would we not be slightly insane? Mentally ill? I don’t know.

I’ll never get a part in a huge action blockbuster.

I just get really defensive as soon as anyone comes near my personal life. I made a decision early on that it’s strictly off-limits. No exceptions.

My mind boggles at the amount of violence inflicted upon children in today’s society.
