At the end of the day, I really go with my personal taste and with what's on the page in terms of character. But beyond that, there's a complexity about the scripts I tend to respond to. I've not lost my curiosity about how the world functions. And a script that can embody that and thematically explore bigger questions in a way which seems fresh is likely to get my attention. Frankly, I also have an eye for what will appeal to an audience, as opposed to a self-indulgent exercise that isn't taking the audience into account.

Musicals are finally kind of coming back to a degree, perhaps out of a sense of nostalgia.

You have to be willing to be afraid if you're going to be an artist.

The Hollywood culture is so invasive, and I definitely wanted to be near it eventually.

I come alive when I'm painting. I like to work in oils and acrylics, and the full sensory engagement and self-expression is very stimulating to me.

At times as an actor, it's often times unclear as to what the directors envision for a project.

Success for me will be where the body of work I've done afforded me the opportunity to be as good as I can be, and to explore myself and to see what I'm capable of.
