I've never thought of myself as a professional. I very rarely do something I don't enjoy.

I've worked with Lars von Trier on many films, and there's always a female character that's like an open wound - everything just pours out of this person.

All male roles are written in a way where you just hide what's going on inside you, and all female roles are written in a way where they expose everything.

I started acting as an amateur when I was a kid, but I wanted to become a diplomat. It was self-centered and weird, but I had this idea of going out in the world and solving conflicts and making the world a better place. But I kept on acting, and eventually, I just dropped out of school and continued acting.

I was getting in my own way. I would quit jobs and step out on hope and faith, and pray to God that I would book something that would allow me to just continue to act.

There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore.

Thank God for TNA: we've had the creative freedom to do what we want to do.

I have faith in the players, who have paid me back on the pitch. I have brought in young players because they have a lot of potential. I'm the only one who decides, and I take decisions based on sporting reasons.
