I wasn't like a Hollywood child actor - "I'm five! I can sing, I can dance, I can act! I wanna be a star!"

I'm pretty intense when it comes to relationships, platonic ones as well. If I feel a connection with someone, I'm willing to go there.

My plan was never to be an actor like my father...

For me, creatively, I'd suffocate if I played the same thing, over and over again. I want challenges. I want to sit down with a director and be like, "I've never done this before, but it's going to be exciting. It's scary, but really thrilling, so let's do it!"

As an actor, what's interesting is what's hidden away beneath the surface. You want to be like a duck on a pond - very calm on the surface but paddling away like crazy underneath.

All the characters I play are all inside of me in a way, and they're all different, the darkness, the lightness, whatever that is.

Whether I'm interested [in something] or not, step one is read the script and figure out if a character is someone I'd want to explore or not.
