On Interests Other Than Acting
"I've learned there's a lot of things in my life that I do outside of [acting] to kind of fill myself up." (2001, CNN interview by Lori Blackman)
"I feel funny when I'm doing interviews in that I'm not an interesting subject. I'm not like a party animal or wild. I sit at home and read a lot. I love to go to museums. I love to study. But I think you learn to value these things when you've had the other. When you grow up in this business you can appreciate simple things and enjoy the quiet." (2002, Time Out London, interview by Jessica Cargill Thompson)
"I love to bake. There's something very ritualistic about it, kind of magic." (2002, New York Observer interview by George Gurley)
"No, I don't [watch TV]. I find it really depressing. I'd rather be living than watching other people live. I have all these rules for avoiding depression. One is going outside in the morning. I don't keep breakfast in the house, so that I have to go out first thing when I first wake up. And then I come back and shower. I think one of the things is, if you start spending the days indoors and you don't go out and interact with people, that's like a danger zone. And then another [rule] is not watching TV. Unless you turn it on for a specific show and then turn it off, I think you can just lose yourself and then you feel inactive, like you're not accomplishing anything. Instead of living and whatnot. It's like Prozac-numbing kind of regulation." (2002, New York Observer interview by George Gurley)
"I've learned in life that there are so many wonderful opportunities to learn things. I just keep being taken on these different journeys." (2001, Chicago Tribune interview by Julia Keller)
"I've done teaching and things like that because if you're acting, you're becoming other human beings, and you need to have time to find who you are as well." (2001, CNN interview by Lori Blackman)
"I would love to eventually do behind-the-scenes stuff." (2001, CNN interview by Lori Blackman)
"Anything involved in the arts I love, and I hope to be able to explore." (2001, CNN interview by Lori Blackman)
