I like the work that I get to do.

I'm very grateful for work especially in film industry. It's highly competitive and there are a lot of people standing behind me jumping at the opportunity to only do one thing, like one movie or one TV show or one episode.

I enrolled in an acting workshop and my first acting role was on the TV soap opera 'Melrose Place.'

During my first visit, I was really struck by how deeply religious many Oklahomans are. It is a very conservative state and as somebody who grew up in a very liberal country, it was jarring to me at first.

I think there's a big misconception out there about actors and the choices they have. I think if you're one of a lucky five, maybe, you're that privileged, but most of us are living paycheck to paycheck and we're really extremely grateful for opportunities.

I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody's path, what they've done.

Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.
