Quotes
I don't know if ISU helped me become what I am, but I know that if I hadn't gone there, I wouldn't be what I am today.
I'm hideously shy as myself, but on stage I can run around naked and bite the heads off fish.
[on receiving an Oscar nomination, 2017] I'd like to think it's karma. I'd like to think that, having treated every single project as the most important one in that moment, and having worked your ass off and given 150 percent to each one, there's a little payback.
