Then, at age 20, I discovered theater sort of by accident. Quite quickly, theater became more important to me than music. I began to realize that maybe my talents as a musician were quite limited, or had a ceiling to them, whereas acting seemed to sort of stretch before me. I got very passionate about it very quickly.

I always think it's a sign of a truly gifted director when they can move seamlessly between genres.

There's a lot of comedy in Intermission but it's got this depth. It's not comedy for comedy's sake - it's informed by something else. I like stuff like that

I really feel actors should try and do as much diverse work as possible to try and keep it interesting.

At the moment I'm doing this space movie, so I'm obsessed with physics and space travel. I know three months down the line it's gone. Then I'll be able to superficially say stuff about space.

I think for me with theater, I need to take a break and then fall in love with it again. And then go do it again.

I don't think they'd ever make a movie about Chuck Baker but I'd love to play Chuck Baker
