Nothing is harder than working with an actor who doesn't take it seriously or show up in the same way that you are.

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

I've never had tastes of people my own age. All of my friends when I was 15 were in their 40s. I'm not actually mature, just very self-conscious around people my own age because I feel like I'm supposed to act the same way they act and I don't know how.

Acting is a weird profession. It's very disquieting, and at the time it just made me so confused. It's only when you step away from a movie for several weeks or months that you start to put things in perspective.

The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous.

Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.

I write plays instinctively. I don't like writing movie scripts.
