I loved getting classical training in terms of acting. I would've stayed in acting school for the rest of my life if I could have. It was this amazing period of my life where everything was so safe.

Life changes and that's cool. Growing older is amazing, I think.

Acting is all about being truthful. I'm really bad at lying. I'm one of the worst liars I know.

I think that ultimately what drives my decisions is if I think the opportunity is going to challenge me in a way that makes me better as an actor.

It's funny because I went to a predominantly white school, but for some reason they always picked the musicals that were supposed to be done by totally black casts.

I always wanted to be an actor, but my top three favorite actors of all time are Al Pacino, James Dean and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

When anything is easy, it becomes very monotonous for me. But, if I can find something that is really going to take all of my body and all of my mind to really even come close to pulling off, that sounds like fun.
