I started as a model in Holland and Chanel took me to New York when I was 19, after which I decided to stay.

It's never been important to be a huge star or to have some breakout role. If you're the lead, you get a lot more screen time and you get a lot more chances to develop that character more thoroughly than you would if you do it in a little supporting part.

The great thing I think when you do independents is that people are really there for the same reason. They're not there because they got a lot of money and they want to just go home and get it over with. They're there because they believe in the script or the director or the cast or whatever it is, and they want to make it work.

It's not as if you can act bigger to fit the surroundings or the budget more. Whatever, it just doesn't work that way.

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.

Triple tonguing? It was sort of invented. It wasnt in the script. It was something that I came up with.

When somebody walks into a room they give off a certain kind of vibe or whatever and at that point that's how you're going to cast them.
