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

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

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.

I feel crushingly embarrassed when I do bad work, so being rejected after doing bad work is actually harder than being rejected after doing good work.

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?"

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

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."
