What I needed was a connection to life that was real and lasting.

I don't think I have ever been as inspired by any character that I have played. I was deeply moved by Temple's courage and her resourcefulness.. She is really pioneering in both the world of autism and animal rights. She has encouraged an incredibly positive change in the world.

Money or no money, acting is my calling.

It just seems like, you agree to have a certain personality or something. For no reason. Just to make things easier for everyone. But when you think about it, I mean, how do you know it's even you?

I've always very earnestly tried to do my best, so I just have to trust that and forgive myself for being fallible.

Most people assume that autistic people are not capable of empathy.

Hatred can become like food, it gives you this energy that you can, like, live off.
