The reason actors are assholes is because they don't eat.

Both of my parents were incredibly supportive of me being in any arts, because they were both in the arts. They weren't the typical story of, "Oh, get a real job. You need to make money." They basically said, "Yup, be an artist. You'll be broke your whole life but you'll be happy."

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.

What you learn in any acting class is how to make a fool of yourself and enjoy things and get out of your head.

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

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."

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