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

You know how theres always the one girl in drama school who can cry at the drop of a hat? She has that emotional well she can tap into in a second? Im not that girl. It takes a lot to get me to that place.

In L.A., being an actor is like a pastime, everybody there is like, "I was on this reality show; I'm an actor." It becomes a word that is loosely thrown around.

There are a lot of celebrities that I think can get a little bit distracted by the way that our society views celebrity. All of a sudden, the film becomes about, "Come see this celebrity!" I'm not interested in that. I want to see a story.

My favorite films are when all of the technicalities are so seamless and so well done that I'm not thinking about them - you're able to go full-on into the story versus talking about edgy this moment was.

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.

Shakespeare teaches you how to act. You come out of this process as a better actor. It's just the nature of the words he writes.
