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

When you're on set you don't realize the way something is going to look since you're on the other side of the camera.

Where I feel something that I had written was misinterpreted in a way that made people feel bad, that is absolutely horrifying to me. I feel so embarrassed and I feel ashamed that I should make people feel bad.

Acting is kind of difficult to intellectualize - it's a far more visceral experience. It's really hard to be able to think about and then employ these kind of esoteric notions of this person's backstory and try to weave it in somehow. It's just kind of impossible.

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

Everyone's a geek in some way or other. Everyone's an outsider.

The more people say nice things about me, the more I feel it's false.
