The best advice my dad ever gave me is that acting is believing. Acting is not acting. It isn't putting on a face and dancing around in a mask. It's believing that you are that character and playing him as if it were a normal day in the life of that character.

My dad never told me that when you audition, you might not get the role. He wanted to wait until my first disappointment to tell me.

When I was a little kid, I loved imagining things. I'd go outside and put on a cape and just imagine I was somebody else.

I like normal stuff people fear - like spiders and heights. I'm frightened by the unknown, by things that are hard to figure out and get a grip on.

I've never had a MySpace or a Facebook page. I avoid that entirely.

My favorite place is Central Park because you never know what you're going to find there. I also like that when I look out the windows of surrounding hotels, it's seems like I'm looking out over a forest.

Kobe Bryant is my favorite basketball player. He takes risks. He goes for the shot. He isn't cautious with whatever he does.
