There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.

I am more greatly moved by people who struggle to express themselves...I prefer the abstract concept of incoherence in the face of great feeling to beautiful, full sentences that convey little emotion.

I don't do all of this as an indulgence. I do it because I'm not a good enough actor to not do it.

I'm not picky, quite honestly.

In all fields of creativity you see the result of work that has become habit. Where the creative impulse has become flaccid or has died out altogether, and yet because it is our work and our life we continue to do it.

For about a year, I just didn't know what to do. I did laboring jobs, working in the docks, construction sites.

When I did make the decision to focus on acting, I think my mother was just relieved for me that I had finally started to focus.
