I didn't want to raise my child in Hollywood.

I never really cared much for Hollywood or movies. But the curiosity for filmmaking, and expanding myself as an actor and my curiosity for people and portraying them, just has grown. And that's from simply being involved in the industry. But it was never a goal of mine as a kid.

I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again.

My mom and my dad never pushed me into performing. They never prohibited me from trying anything, or being anything. They never restricted me in any way. For which I'll be forever grateful.

The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules.

I only do this because I'm having fun. The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away.

I think your personal evolution runs hand in hand with your professional evolution. Performance and the person you are kind of grow simultaneously.
