No one else in my family is an actor or aspires to be, and most of my friends aren't actors. Most of my friends are the people that I grew up with back in Georgia. It's really helpful to be surrounded by a world that's bigger than the entertainment industry.

I remember all the kids picking their chosen career paths and I was thinking, If I'm an actor I can be an astronaut and a policeman and a firefighter. At the time I was so young that I actually thought actors were all of those things.

I remember the first time I fell in love. That rush is just overwhelming and you don't think there's ever going to be anything like it.

I will always be the hopeless romantic, more often pathetic than heroic.

I always used to associate good directors as being ones who are totally extreme and have an answer for everything and there are no loose ends.
