I feel vulnerable when I am underprepared. This applies to underpreparedness with just about anything, especially work.

Every time I get a script in my inbox, it's like a little Christmas present. It's so exciting to see what they've cooked up.

I think one of the big challenges about science fiction is finding truth to relate to as an actor.

The second time I was banned was when I directed a film called Xiu Xiu. I was banned for three years from China.

You never know where your next job is going to lead you, down the road. One single episode that might seem so far removed from what you might end up doing in the future might spark somebody's memory bank. Just one little line you said or a look you gave might be what they want to pursue with a character.

That being said, I am not one to feel sorry for myself. I believe it is healthy to honor one's feelings and do the best we can to learn and grow from them moving forward.
