As with anything in life, when you have certain experiences at pivotal times, they shape you.

The last two days of shooting ('Harper's Island') was probably the most hardcore, the coldest anyone has ever been. It was like your head was freezing, and my motivation for most scenes was, 'The minute this scene is over, I'm heading straight over to that heater to get warm.'

I just want to continue to be challenged and to keep getting better and better. I don't ever want to lose that or become complacent or pulling tricks.

I think every job that I've done to this point has had something new to challenge me.

If a great opportunity arises, you can't say no. But you do have to pick and choose a little more.

I'm really grateful for all the projects I've been involved in and the parts I've played.

In life, you're supposed to get wiser, so as an actor, even just through your own life experiences, you're already richer as a person and have more to pull on. And this job is great for the places it takes you to, the things it makes you interested in and the skills you get to learn.
