I love that about filmmaking - seeing final product and getting to see everyone else that you don't necessarily engage with on set every day and getting them to showcase their talents. Whether it's effects, music, the edit, the rhythm of a film is driven by that, so it's cool to see it come together. It's great to be standing in front of something you're genuinely proud of.

I started coming to L.A. as often as I could, for three months on and three months off, because immigration kicks you out after 90 days.

I was a bit of a show-off in school and loved playing dress-up, and my passion for it just grew as I got older.

Some people have this really clear memory of making that decision, and I don't. My earliest memories of being involved with drama or acting were in elementary school. My sister and I got dropped off at an after-school improvisation class, a time-killer for kids while parents were doing the groceries. I'm 6 years old, and I remember running amok and playing these games.

If I had the chance to spend a day with Werner Herzog, I would want there to be a canoe involved. I want to be down in Patagonia or something, and kill some kind of wild beast and skin it and gut it and cook it. And then turn its fur into some kind of layer of warmth. And then trek through the hills.

I had this alter ego where I would go to the theater with mom. I wasn't embarrassed by it; it was separate for me.

I'm not someone who has a lengthy attention span, and that applies to my exercise routine as well.
