I don't want the same trans story to be told over and over again. I don't want people to get stuck on this very western idea of what it means to be transgender.
You don't want to get into doing the same thing, over and over again. I know I don't.
I don't want to get stuck playing the same character over and over again.
I don't want to be totally repetitive and doing the same thing over and over again for the rest of my life. I don't want to do that at all.
I like to break down barriers and I think that Hollywood is doing the same thing over and over. I want to do something new and say, "Let's evolve as artists!"
I think it's important to evolve and grow and take risks creatively, instead of repeating yourself and doing the same thing over and over.
My fear is getting stuck doing the same thing over and over.
Any characters that make me think, 'I don't know if I can do this,' are the ones I most want to do. I don't want to do the same thing over and over.
I want to do roles that are fun and challenging and I want to try different things. I don't want to keep doing Monster's Ball over and over and over again. I want to keep doing my career the way that I was doing it before I won the Oscar.
I don't want to keep doing the same thing over and over for the rest of my life.
Doing the same thing over and over again can be boring, I want to explore as much as I can.
I want to work on projects that I feel passionate about and do things that are fun and challenging. I would love to do a live musical. I'm not interested in doing the same thing over and over or the fame and exposure that comes with it. When people keep doing that, they just end up doing the same dumb stuff again and again.
Sometimes you can get stuck doing the same kind of thing over and over again, and then there's a certain moment in your life when you say, 'Wait, there's all this other stuff in me and all this other life.'
I think, I just always want to leave the door open for, you know, I don't want it to be finished. I've never gotten sick of a song, I've played them over and over and over again, and if I get bored with something, then I'll just change that thing.
I want to get married but I look at husbands the same way I look at tattoos. I want one, but I can't decide what I want, and I don't want to be stuck with something I'd grow to hate and have surgically removed.
I think actors, at a certain point in their careers, decide they're either going to keep taking risks or take the exact same risk over and over again so that it's not a risk anymore. That's when I don't want to work with them. I think there are some actors who are just doing the exact same thing, and they will never shift from it.
