One of the great things about my job is I get to do all of these things that I may not experience had I not been an actor.

I really chase the things that I want.

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.

One thing I've learned: You never know where life is taking you, but it's taking you.

Making a movie is you're really only as good as your weakest link, so when everyone's working at their best and it actually comes together, it's an extraordinary thing because it doesn't always.

I had to fight my whole life to break out of my circumstances. That's just part of my makeup.

I look back and I look at all the opportunities that I've had to work really hard and really challenge myself, and I like to do things that scare me. I like to do things that I don't know if I'm going to be able to do. I need the help of talented people around me. I love that it's a collaboration.
