The idea of playing a character for even two years, to me feels claustrophobic - only because I want to play a lot of different people.

Oh, the Places You'll Go!,' by Dr. Seuss, is still one of my favorite books ever.

It's give-and-take and back-and-forth, that constantly allows you to grow as an artist and as a human being.

I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there.

I am a competitive person with myself. I always find new goals to achieve, new challenges to breakthrough, and I try and do something new every day. And I'm highly competitive with myself.

If there's someone that I just wan to work with in the future, I set a general meeting and I say, "I'm a really big fan. I want to meet you. I'd love to collaborate with you someday and hopefully you'll remember that for the next time you have something that I could be right for."

I'm certainly not very book smart, but I started traveling at 16, and it has enriched me in ways I could never begin to explain.
