Acting is a business and a political act and a craft, but I also feel like it's a service - specifically, for a military audience.

I think it's possible to be free in a big production. It's the eye of the director and the actor and the story.

I don't understand technology, and I'm very scared of it.

Acting, to me, has been many things: It's a business, and it's a craft, and it's a political act - it's whatever adjective is most applicable.

I was born in California. When I was six, we moved to a small town in northern Indiana called Mishawaka.

I'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted actor.

The only thing I know that makes me feel comfortable is to know as much as I can. Not like what the shots are going to be, but knowing enough about my character that I can forget those things. And more specifically, my lines. I have to know my lines. I have to know something really well, so I can forget it when we're doing it. And there is comfort in knowing, "Okay, there's not another stone that I could have overturned."
