I want to present interesting stories that don't qualify themselves just by virtue of their ethnographic type.

Acting school was summer camp, and I needed concentration camp. I had so many different ideas swirling between culture and how to tie things together.

I applied to American Repertory School up at Harvard at got in.

There is extraordinary similarities between the Midwest in America and Europe in that there is this sense of vast, open sky and loneliness and cold.

The loneliness is when you pick up and move, even if you are not originally from that place, and you have some memories that you want to embrace. Having a life in transit, I feel like you are always looking out the back window.

I knew I was happy when I was dancing.

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