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

When I was 18 I went to college for two years and didn't work for a year which was essential for me, because my identity had been so influenced by my being an actor and I think I just needed to discover what it was to be myself, divorced from all that responsibility.

I think it distinguishes television from every other medium. It's what makes it kind of radical, and risky, and fun.

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.

With acting there are a lot more choices, With this, I either stick it or I don't. There's something really unforgiving about that.

I think people of my generation are really worrying about thier zits and getting that date for Friday night. I think that's their reality. I don't' know if they're worrying too hard about their future.

Find as many opportunities as you can and clock as many hours as you can.
