I had a mustache when I was 13.

I would say acting on stage is my first love.

I find America falling in love with a TV show flattering and interesting, but at the same time a little sad.

If I'm going to do something, I really put everything into it and I want it to mean something to me.

Ive always been pretty energetic.

Directing takes a lot longer than acting. This was about seven years in development, and then two and a half years with pre-production, production, post and now the release. Not that I have people banging on my door to star in movies, but it takes me out of the acting game for a longer chunk of time.

When I was six years old, my parents took me to this farmers' market with a petting zoo. They put me on a pony and, for some reason, it took off at a run and they had to chase it down. They tell me it was kind of traumatic.
