I owe the little formal education I got to my drama teacher, Mr. Pickett, who got us to read Shakespeare, Moliere, and other classics.

I love doing independent films, but it's very hard to make a living that way.

I love acting and making your own luck. You have to recreate yourself, I guess. Although, I don't know how.

I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid. I grew up in Houston. Gordo Cooper was my favorite astronaut.

In my early teen years, I wanted to become a vet. That was my plan. I worked as a veterinarian's assistant for a couple of summers.

I don't have a grand strategy for my career. I just look for good material, and good stories. I look for good scripts.

I have a resistance to change in things that I feel comfortable with and that I'm used to.
