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.

Dogs just need you and love, that's all.

I think film is collaboration, and I always want to hear everyone's input.

With any independent film, it's all about getting everyone's schedules in line and everything together at the same time and just doing the best you can do when that happens - if it happens.

My mom and my stepdad are both therapists.

As an actor, I've always been interested in making sure I can perform the role and the lines in the way the writer intended.

I often think a play gets better and better as you hit a stride because you really find new things. One of the great privileges of doing theater is you get so many at-bats - you get to try it eight times a week and every audience is different, everyday is different.
