The reason why I like theater is because it's a long journey, and no matter what role you play, we are all in it together.

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

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

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.

My view of myself as an artist expanded because of the time I spent at Cal Arts.

My mom was really busy when I was growing up, but she did a really good job in terms of balancing her home life with her professional life. She basically took me everywhere.

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.
