Having a good director is very important. It's crucial. When you do good work with a certain director, you want to work with them again, and hopefully vice versa.

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 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.

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.

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

I felt like I had to prove myself, but I feel that you have to do that anyway, as an actor. You're there to do a job, and that's your primary concern.
