I do have comfort, because as an actor you don't want that anxiety of wondering if you're going to continue with a certain role or if you're going to be employed the next year. It's nice to be comfortable with that and then you can concern yourself with the stories and nothing else. There's no other agenda than putting out a good product.

When you have these huge personalities at home you have to keep proving yourself to survive.

Of course, when you play football yourself you can think you want to become a manager but it does not make you a good manager.

I enjoy talking to people about what I do - about films, music, directors, and art. It's very strange, having to talk about yourself.

Give yourself an even greater challenge than the one you are trying to master and you will develop the powers necessary to overcome the original difficulty.

You are your main news platform, so no publication has as much power as you do about posting about yourself.

When you play a character you have to ask yourself, 'Can I make sense of what's happening here? Is this authentic?'

How do you make it to the top when all you have is ambition and talent? You believe in yourself and surround yourself with other idealistic and talented friends that fuel each other and push against the establishment to take you seriously.

Acting is a freelance career... you never stop having to prove yourself and fight for work.

When you're out on the court, you're fighting against yourself and it can be tough.

I think as you get older, you find out more and more about yourself and what you like and what you don't like.

If you look at the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on 'Titanic,' you ask yourself, why on earth would they turn to stock footage? The answer is simple, many scenes used for the narrative of the film don't need to be expensively shot and can be bought from us.

As long as you put yourself out there for things to happen that you want, something's going to happen, but it's never exactly what you imagine, maybe.

Both for Havana's beauty and decay, it's very hard to restrain yourself from staring everywhere you look.

Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark for strange places, don't leave any of yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory.

When you do action stuff and sci-fi stuff, you have a lot to hide behind - the hair and the makeup and the special effects. But when you play a normal girl, it's challenging because you have to trust yourself.

Stay small and control it yourself.

I ask myself, 'Why can't a truck driver have the right to carry a gun?' Just think about it; put yourself in the shoes of a truck driver. He nods off at the petrol station... and when he wakes up the next day, his spare tyre has gone.

I have a slight controversy with the Dogme brethren because I've been saying that rules are to be interpreted; not that I haven't followed the rules, because I don't see the point of submitting yourself to a set of rules if you don't follow them. But having said that, it is always a lot of interpretation.
