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

You look for the roles where, when you read it, you're just like, "Yes, I know that. I know that feeling. I know what it means to feel like that. I know this person." When you have a soulful connection to a part, that's a dream come true.

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

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

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.

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

If anything, it was a very egotistical thing because I wanted to move people. I wanted to tell a story and move people.
