You have to find something you relate to in every character.

Even in success, you're going to be constantly rejected.

I always knew that I'd probably do something in the arts.

Sometimes the characters that I'm most resistant to are the ones that I find the most satisfying to play, because you have to dig deeper and you have to find different parts of yourself that are not necessarily the first thing you access and that's fun and interesting.

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."

I've always just shown up to set and said the lines, [but] I want to help develop scripts and help cast and help bring a visual tone to something.

I think that it's a myth that there's one job that makes your whole career, unless you're winning an Oscar. But even that doesn't work for some people.
