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

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

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

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."

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

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 really don't have a specific idea of where I want my career to go, I just have an idea of wanting to continue to work and work on things that I like and think are good.
