I grew up with artists.
I love life and if there's something that I'm playing that I love, I'll research it.
I was born in Hawaii, but I was raised in Iowa.
I don't want to just play the same thing. But with The Red Road, no one has ever seen me like that. No one really even knows that I smile, have a personality and have a sense of humor.
My favorite movie is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.'
You know what's it's changed is my appreciate for the art form of making cinema. I don't want to act as much as I want to tell stories. I want to be a part of the whole collective and pull all of the pieces together. That's what I love about directing.
