A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you’re rehearsing, you’re working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you’re doing the play, you have all day.

At home, I am a private person, and I like keeping it that way. Maybe that is why I come out as being guarded about my personal life.
I do use social media as a gateway into my personal life, but only to a certain extent. When I don’t want to, I pull the blinds down.

There are some great actors I don’t want to meet because I don’t want to know how they did it. I don’t want to know anything about their personal life, and the illusion, or whatever it is, the shape-shiftery magic stuff that they do, which is my joy.

To me, everything is always new. People involved in my personal life make fun of me a lot for not being jaded.
I think it’s important to keep your personal life to yourself as much as you can. It protects your sanity and you need to have boundaries. And it helps that enchantment of watching an actor.

Realize that the game of life is the game of, to some extent, being taken advantage of by people who make a science of it. Whether they are in government or personal life or in business, they’re everywhere.

I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force it on the world at large – especially this world, so brutal and unjust.

It’s hard to expose your personal life publicly, and everyone has an opinion.
Making films can be very lonely, and that’s the part I don’t like. I don’t want to feel like I’m pressing ‘pause’ on my personal life to make a movie. I want to feel like I’m still creating relationships and things are moving forward.
