In my ideal world, it would be a soulful connection to the role because you've shared a lot of the same experiences as the character and you just feel so right in it. That's the first thing I look for.

You provide a lot of people with entertainment, and that's what will happen. I don't think you should ever feel like you're used to anything of that nature because you're no different from anyone else.

What you try to do, as an actor, is just make it work somehow.

There's this feeling, when you stop believing it's a show and you're there and this is happening.

You should always view any job as just as nerve-wracking or just as exciting as any other.

Until I did my work and I did my utmost best, I feel like I don't have a right to feel excited.

For a relative newcomer, it's obviously a dream to work with such a talented actress as Anna Paquin, who won an Oscar at 10, or something ridiculous like that. That's a dream.
