I think the most important thing for an actor is reading the script and trying to figure out if you can play that character well. The last thing on my mind is if the director made good movies previously. It's not my job to know if that director's last movie was any good - it's my job to know if I can play the role.

I live in New York City, where, if you're in a movie at a popular independent theater, you think you're king of the world, because you're in a bubble. So there's no way for me to properly conceive of the attention that the movie gets in a way that doesn't make me confused.

I am actually going to two therapists right now. I don't know, I actually feel like therapy has just made me more uncomfortable.

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

I'm no good at really anything that involves motor skills.

As an actor, you try to bring as much of yourself to a part to try and create a feeling of authenticity and emotional truth and resonance.

Acting forces me to socialise, which is good for me, I think.
