I think that we're all continually searching for who we are, and that's ever-evolving and changing.

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.

Sometimes you have to get to the heart of a character through your heart. Your own heart. And it's what makes us similar and what makes us different.

This is my one and only life and it's a great and terrible and short and endless thing and none of us come out of it alive.

I believe in talent, and you believe in who you cast and help them go the distance.

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

You're always going to make mistakes. That's life. You just want to grow from them and try to make as few as possible. That's why you do reach out and ask people for help, where needed.
