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

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

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."

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."

The worst feeling in the world is giving a bad audition.

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