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.

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

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

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.

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

An actor's job is to do their job. It's great if it's successful and it's fantastic when it's a huge hit, but at the same time, you're there to do a job and make sure you do it well.
