The quality of artistry is the capacity to assume innocence at will, the quality of experiencing innocence as if for the first time.

When you get in there for the first time, you're in such awe of what you're experiencing that when you finally get to the off-season and have a chance to look back on it, you can take one of two roads. You either get humble and step up and become a leader, or you just think you're the best thing ever.

Being at the centre of a film is a burden one takes on with innocence the first time. Thereafter, you take it on with trepidation.

For the first time I'm free to be myself.
