“I became an actor because it was the only thing I could do. I didn't have any friends, I didn't fit in. But when I started acting everything in my life shifted and I felt happy.”

“Get out of the house. Find other human beings to communicate with. Read a book. Do yoga. Meditate. Be of service. That is one of the biggest single most things to get one out of oneself, is being of service to people who are less fortunate than ourselves.”

“Directing was a transformative experience for me, one that I really enjoyed.”

“I always felt I wasn't completely American and I wasn't completely British: there was a feeling of having my feet in both places.”

“Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears.”
