People quit on jobs. They quit on marriages. They quit on school. There's an immediacy of this day and age that doesn't lend itself to being committed to anything.

You feel very much like a puppet, but it had been what I was accustomed to - so you just get on with it and try to find something that rings true.

It's nothing to be ashamed of to have a stutter.

I think a lot of people want to, at some point in their life, be someone else, run away and escape, in some way. We actors do get to do it. We have a job that allows for that. We have an outlet for it.

If you're very open to watching the world go by, with people's different tics, you absorb it all without realizing it and find ways to put something into your character. I'm not sure I'm always aware I'm mimicking someone.

People just want to know something, anything. It's all the stuff you never want to talk about, the private stuff.

I love character roles. I'm happier in them. I look for roles that have some kind of complexity.
