I felt for a really long time, "When I grow up I want to be an actor." And now I'm like, "Oh, this is it now. This is my life."

But for me, to get the tattoo was part of moving into adulthood. Making a choice that is permanent and that I'll have to stick with.

I know that sometimes you have to reason with yourself and say, "This is just TV" or "This is just a movie," but I think also as an actor it's your job to find it so very important.

Some artists go through life not realizing that they have to be happy today. They're always thinking about the next job or the next thing: "I'll get this, then I'll be happy." Then you're miserable.

I try to find meaning or value in most things and be as diverse as possible.

Im not sure Ill find acting satisfying creatively forever. If you get the good roles, its great - if you have the freedom to choose your projects and not just do anything and everything.

I'm not in the business to promote myself. I'll happily promote the show that I worked so hard on - that's fine. But I feel like there's a shamelessness about promoting yourself now that I'm really uncomfortable with. People will say, "Look at me being so peaceful on this hike," but you're absolutely not being peaceful, you're focused on looking good because you're getting your picture taken.
