I have a sister and her name is Mimsy, like from "Alice in Wonderland," so we've got some strange names in our family.

I was home-schooled 'cause I wanted to be an actor. I would spend all day watching movies, trying to get through calculus.

I know that I'm an actor and I guess I could kind of put on an act, but it takes so much more time to be someone you are not. I feel so much better just being comfortable with myself and hopefully girls will accept that.

I just always loved mythology, ever since I was a kid. Greek mythology was something I remember learning about in fourth grade, and Egypt, too, and something about both those things just clicked with me. I just thought they both were so beautiful and interesting to learn about.

I'm so used to swimming with the piranhas. And they're really not that bad.

I was the type of person that would show a PowerPoint presentation about why I should do something versus crying and screaming over it.

One of the reasons I love making movies is because it's an opportunity to share with the world a different way of being or a different way of living or seeing the world. If it's something you've already seen before, if I have too many reference points for it, then it's not exciting for me to make.
