I feel equal parts lucky and scared anytime I get a job.

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

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.

I did children's theater when I was younger, and then when I was about 14 I started doing theater in New York City.

It's very hard to be a playwright because it's very competitive.

I think it's my nature to - every time I hear about an award or a nomination, it makes me realize how much I must've been losing before, because I was not aware that every major city had these critics' awards.

[As an actor] you're looking to crawl into an anonymous fictional person's skin, but then you have the ironic obligation to promoting the movie in such a public way that it almost undermines the initial intention of going under the radar.
