Unless you come to terms with your past... it haunts you, and you never leave it.

I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie, which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was.

Acting is different from mental gymnastics. You try to discover as much about the character as you can, but a large area is mysterious.

I think that somehow I got the notion that I had to be successful, to be the best in the world.

One of the most basic factors in sports is that winning becomes a habit, and losing is the same way. When failure starts to feel normal in your life or your work or even your darkest vices, you won't have to go looking for trouble, because trouble will find you. Count on it.

The penalty of success is to be bored by people who used to snub you.

Success to me does not mean money.

I went from not being known anywhere in the world to winning junior Wimbledon and six months later playing the Australian Open. I was a victim of my own success, really.
