I grew up in the theater, my mother is an actress, I was always around the world of acting and theater.

I wanted my first film to be something where I was surrounded by an amazing cast. I wanted to do something that was completely unexpected, totally out of the box, something that would blow people's minds, that the last thing on the planet earth they would ever think I would do would be it.

We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring.

Business can change you, and chew you up, and spit you out, and be rid of you, and on to the next thing. That's why it's so important to know who you are and stand up for something.

My parents weren't married. It wasn't like my dad up and left. I maintained a steady relationship with my grandparents. My dad's mother is my nana, and I'm closer to her than almost anybody in this world.

If I know everything around the situation, all the facts, I feel like I can handle just about anything.

I love the written word so much, I know it's gonna flow naturally.
