I get labelled as just being about one thing, but there's lots of layers to what I do.
What popped up more than that was the realization that I made as an adult that the world is this incredibly complex, layered, and mysterious place and if you stop and think about it the human cell is literally more complex than a fleet of 747s.
For nothing was simply one thing.
My personal style is kind of tomboy-boho chic! Sort of funky but simple.
There are mountains hidden in mountains. There are mountains hidden in hiddenness. This is complete understanding.
I totally respond to complex characters, and I'm not interested in anything too simple.
I really just like characters who you don't know where they stand for a long while. It's like people. You hang out with them for 10 years, and then all of a sudden they do something, and you say, 'Who are you?' That's more interesting. In life and on-screen.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.
I am oblique; I think that has to do with my own nature. I like trying to do things which work on many levels, because I think it is terribly important to give an audience a lot of things they might not get as well as those they will, so that finally the film does take on a texture and is not just simplistic communication.
I'm not a one-dimensional character.
The longer you are in a place, the more you get under its layers.
Nobody ever said I'm a simple personality.
There's depth in my comedy.
I think humans are fascinating in general. We're so weird. We do so many quirky things, and we don't even know it. There's just so many layers upon layers of nuances in everything we do, and the most fun part as an actor is trying to get into all those nuances, whether they're conscious or unconscious.
In biology, nothing is clear, everything is too complicated, everything is a mess, and just when you think you understand something, you peel off a layer and find deeper complications beneath. Nature is anything but simple.
My night stand is more like a geological structure: a bunch of books piled on the floor with its own strata.
History is messy, undetermined, and layered.
