I think even when I was little there was signs that I was an artist. I've always been an artist.

The way I work emotionally is: I don't ever try to cry. I try not to, which is what for me produces organic emotion.

I prefer theater and film. I did a little television, and obviously I'm not knocking it. It can be great, and it does pay the bills. But it's a little bit more disjointed.

I wasn't even a theater kid in high school. I studied classical piano, and I ran track.

I've realized that a lot of people go to see film or theater with a different expectation. I have a friend who's an actor and I can't stand watching movies with him because he never quite allows himself to just watch the story. He'll comment on the lighting, he'll comment on the [camera] angle. I'm not saying there's a wrong way to watch it - maybe that's helpful to him - but to me, you're getting way too caught up in the technical aspects.

Theater is a lot more interactive, more of a cohesive unit. With television, it can be a different director every episode.

The big challenge is finding something new without changing completely what you've already done - going deeper into what you've already done and discovering new things while carrying out the same intention.
