There are problems everywhere, of course, but you can only see those certain problems when you reach a certain level. So I try to think of those problems as, "This is a sign that I'm having success, that I'm also having issues with this."

We're all eaters. That's our bond. Let's be real.

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.

I've seen some of my favorite actors give bad performances, and I have to tell myself that failure is a part of success.

I wanted to be a writer for a while. I was an excellent child writer. I won multiple poetry contests. I was published at age three - I think that was more about novelty than my immense talent.

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

Offers come up, but I'm still fighting for jobs and auditioning and being rejected.
