I think it's great to be a part of a franchise that is successful. Any franchise is successful because it's a continuation and people have seen it.

When you get praise from someone that you really admire it's really surreal.

There is definitely a sense of pride to it - it's more precious when you cook something up from the beginning and you see it all the way to the end, and you get a little bit more of a say.

What matters to me is learning and growing, and getting to do what I love to do. As long as I can do that, I'm happy.

I used to hang out at karaoke bars all the time. It was the most fun you could have when you had no money.

You have to wait for a big star to come in and generate interest on a project, and now that has become me, which is an amazing blessing.

I like repressed characters. That gives me a lot of freedom to make a lot of different choices through subtleties.
