I think trying too hard to be sexy is the worst thing in the world a woman can do.

My dad was the biggest influence on my life because he was never boring.

There's nothing like boxing for getting you in shape.

Well, it's embarrassing to be a star.

Being misunderstood is not a bad thing as an actor. I know the truth.

I think it's important when you're acting to be as relaxed as possible even if you're doing something intense. You're basically in a state of dynamic relaxation.

And I not only inherited an aversion to the nine-to-five routine, but the sense from my parents that being bored and boring is the worst thing that you can be.

I feel like I'm pretty good but I don't like to toot my own horn, you know. I want to let the work speak for itself and kind of move on to the next thing.

Were all conning ourselves, one way or another, just to get through life.

I have a fear of being boring.

It was a great honor to be called a mo-fo by Sam Jackson.

I like being responsible for myself

I would have been very happy just cruising around and enjoying the unexpected. I've never been ambitious.

The only thing that I'm obsessed with is sleeping, and actually, it is more than an obsession, it is a pleasure.

I never want to feel that I'm playing it safe.

I don't personally look to my own life experiences for answers about how to play a scene.

I have this theory that, depending on your attitude, your life doesn't have to become this ridiculous charade that it seems so many people end up living.

I do like taking stuff seriously that a lot of people look at as nonsense. I enjoy the insanity of that. And I like the commitment that is needed for that.

You have to treat yourself like a mushroom to some degree, in order to keep on discovering things.
