It's exciting to take control of your future instead of waiting for the phone to ring.

The part that I felt most comfortable with going in was just working with actors and trying to make them feel comfortable and safe so they could find the performance. That part felt organic to me.

Everything I did growing up was with that as the real goal - doing Broadway; doing theatre. That was always the big thrill for me.

In some ways I'm oddly traditional, I've been a serial monogamist since I was 12. I've always tried to work hard and get good grades and be a good person, but I feel like I've also always had a strange defiance of authority or the status quo, I've never understood why things always have to be just one way.

The hardest thing is never what you think it's going to be.

I think we all learn by doing rather than thinking about doing.
