You're not always going to hit the bull's-eye. I'm going to make movies that work and I'm going to make movies that don't work, and that's just a part of being creative. Because really, I think if you're taking risks and you're pushing yourself and you're doing things that scare you, you are going to fall on your face, and it's not always going to work.

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.

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.

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.

Growing up in a lower-income family, you don't have the resources to make ends meet and you have to find creative ways to get by.

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

I haven't tucked a sock in my pants for three years.
