Theres monsters in all of us, but theres also vulnerability.

In film, you're so much in the hands and at the mercy of the editor, so sometimes it's good to watch it just to see how it turns out - it can be so different than how you imagined it. But sometimes it's better to just let it go for your own sense of self worth.

I caught the acting bug from my dad.

You want to give the director what they want, and you don't always know exactly how it goes, so you want to try it a few different ways. You have to be flexible; you have to be in collaboration with the director; you have to be versatile. But you also want to be protective of what you really believe in and how you feel it should be portrayed.

I would love to do Shakespeare in New York.

That's one of my real goals is to keep theater in my life.

What you always try to do, as an actor, is find the thing that's universal in the person.
