One of my favorite stories growing up was 'A Wrinkle in Time'. I loved that book.

If you play it safe every time, then you're missing the best part of acting. You haven't learned anything about your humanity.

One of the things that's awesome about being an actor is that you get to do stories, live lives and have experiences that you never could have even conceived of, and that's because you're living in another writer's imagination and another director's imagination.

I learned from my parents the idea that, if you are devoted enough and you want to study something enough, you can really teach yourself anything.

I didn't understand how you could be an actor if you didn't also study philosophy and study political science, astronomy. And also just go out and live life and have experiences.

I think you get to see, through the different cult members, why people are attracted to a group like this. Everyone is there for a different reason and from a different background. That was part of what was interesting for us, in researching cults and exploring it. A lot of this happens in California.

I think one thing for sure that you learn the more films that you make is how important it is to choose your collaborators.
