Hopefully what you do as an actor is strong enough and has enough of an impact that people get what you're trying to communicate.

I'm incredibly naive.

People are giving me more respect.

I feel like some of the best talent is on TV right now, with the writing, acting and great directors.

I've done and said a lot of things when I was younger that I don't know if I even understood what I was doing or why I was doing it. There's a lot of compassion in understanding what people go through and even in trying to understand why a person would act the way they do. I was a very reactive person, and I did things that were just really bizarre; I don't think people understood it at all.

To be honest, I don't usually do very much research, especially if I'm working with a director who also wrote the screenplay. They've usually done a tonne of research. And they'll tell you about it from their perspective which is better than doing your own research.

I don't really need a lot of help from a director.
