You can only really open yourself up so far to someone that you don't truly love - you keep something back when you know somewhere in your gut that this relationship is going to be forever.

I can understand in some sense, having played the character, how unimaginably frustrating it is for people to tell you that you can't love who you love, because you ain't going to change it, and so they have to get out of your way.

I got lost a lot, and I was a really bad waitress... I got lost on the subway.

And so when I graduated I moved to New York, and I was waitressing here and auditioning – and I got my first job pretty soon after.

Well, usually when I finish one character, I’m looking for a role that’s really different.

I think that’s why I like New York City because you can just put on your backpack and just explore; you never know where you are going to end up.

I don’t know how you get dressed if you live in Wales, because it’s pouring rain and then it’s hot sunshine, and then it might hail. It’s just so confusing.

That’s what I think we’re all looking for – an honest love wherever you can find it.

What I’d really like to do is do a film or two a year and then do theater in New York the rest of the year.

One of the great thing about New York is the neighborhood – you go for your walk in the morning and you know your dry cleaning lady, you know the guy in your coffee shop – that’s your neighborhood and I love that.
