All you do as a performer is keep doing it. If you keep doing it, then it depends on why you're doing it.

I have to tell you, a few people had very controversial feelings about what I was doing with Gucci at the beginning, and now, after a couple of years, they are changing their minds. I want to give journalists the time and space to know me and what I'm doing better. But it's not a priority for me.

I had the best teacher in the business. Kevin Costner was my teacher. I was acting opposite him and he was directing me.

But he was like, "Come around. Watch this. See there, you're doing a great reaction, but you're doing it out of frame." That was exactly what I needed. I learned how to act on film from him.
