I think there comes a point in probably most father-son relationships where the son kind of starts becoming the parent.

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."

I'm an actor, but it sort of has to feel serious on a different level. I have to be happy with the choices I make now; it can't just be in hopes of creating a better future for myself. It has to bring me fulfillment. I have to find a way to be happy today.

I'm not sure I'll find acting satisfying creatively forever. If you get the good roles, it's great - if you have the freedom to choose your projects and not just do anything and everything. But I'd love to artistically commit to a project from beginning to end, which I think you can only do as a writer or director.

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.

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.
