Being an actor is definitely not the hardest job in the world - it's definitely a first-world problem to have, but I'm not very good with rejection. I constantly question whether or not I'm suited for this business, because it is your job to get rejected.

There's been no nepotism in my acting artistic life, but I think it's been pretty clear in my writing life. I knew what a pantoum was at age 11 - I knew form - therefore I would win the poetry contest. But I also realized that I would never be a great writer.

You have to be kinder to yourself, because it's a part of being good.

In school I really loved Shakespeare, and I participated in a country-wide Shakespeare competition.

No one is trying to be bad for the sake of being bad - there's always a reason behind it.

Even though I'm on a show that I love with people that I love - I have basically the dream job - that doesn't mean I'm not getting rejected on a daily basis.

If I had a child and she was a girl, I'd hope she'd do something different from me.
