My first acting job happened by accident when I was really young. I was in fifth grade and my teacher saw an ad in the paper and took me to the audition after school and I got the part.

I got heavily into the drum-and-bass scene, which is really wicked.

I like the theatre because you paint with broad strokes. To me the theatre is stretching its definition really far.

America makes up its own mind about what it wants to see.

You have to work with what you are given, even in Shakespeare. we have our form and it is important that we free ourselves through it.

We make a contract within ourselves as actors or directors or writers about how much of ourselves we let into projects. You can actually figure out before you work on something how much blood you will have to let emotionally.

In every character I play, I try to imbibe something. Every film is a learning process for me.
