I've never worked during the summer. I take summers off.

I don't attribute an actor's great success to their own individual performance when it's something as collaborative as a movie.

I find people who want to help other people to be the most interesting. I come from a family of teachers, and my friends are teachers, often times in very difficult school situations.

The movies that are really big, at least in my experience, oftentimes don't have characters that I feel as personally connected to.

In acting class, you're trained to express yourself as much as you can.

I often think if you have time to sit around the house feeling bad for yourself, you have time to tutor a child. I'm guilty of that exact thing. I will spend more time sitting around feeling bad for myself than actually helping somebody.

Who walks around proud of things they've done? That's an obnoxious quality.
