“I never really considered myself attractive. I was always kind of gangly in school.”

“I know you think that I have some kind of perfect, unyielding self-control, but that’s not actually the case.”

“I wanted to write before everything else, but pretty fast I had to find myself. In a humdrum way, acting seemed the best way for me to express what I couldn’t say in a different way.”
