Acting was something I wanted to work at and put the time into.

You never know what's going to happen, so you just continue with your head down and never expect things to start being handed to you.

The thing I'd miss most is the feeling when acting is going well, when you start a play and you end the night and you look back and go, "What just happened?"

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

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.

I think it's very hard to go into the same business as your family when you're an artist.

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.
