I'm always interested in challenging myself and pushing and seeing how far I can go.

I'm not a selfish actor. I believe that it's a team effort. You're not in a scene by yourself.

I like to disappear in my roles because I don't have an assistant.

I'm not interested in disposable music.

I love children.

Singing is something I can do, but it's not my first passion.
