A lot of people ask me about my father's passing when I was young, which I'm never comfortable with. I invariably move around that subject.

David Mamet was great to work with. He was everything that I thought he would be as a director. He's incredibly articulate, an easy collaborator. Extraordinarily knowledgeable about film and writing.

Depending on what your interest in theater is, I always recommend working on plays. It's a great way to be introduced to the field, and also a great way to be seen by agents and representation. I'm also a great advocate for studying acting at a drama school or a college.

I've often had the fortune to work on projects with a small theme I find very interesting enough to pursue and to be passionate about in the context of the story, then it may turn out there's a universality about my character which still resonates with many people as well.

I would love to be a fly on the wall watching other directors and actors to see what their process is like.

The only way to be an actor is to find ways to work as an actor, even if that means doing a one-man show by a river.

I'm in favor of anything that promotes greener solutions.
