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.

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.

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.

After I've done a good job, then I can get excited. Obviously, it would be very easy to get carried away, but I wanted to own that excitement.

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.

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