I try to master every facet of a character in order to build a safety net for myself, so I can go on to take more risks to create someone really distinct.

You learn a lot as a kid, like you don't know anything. I didn't know what was gonna happen if I opened the door. I thought I was gonna be in another world somehow.

To have a job you can count on as an actor is so rare, whether that means belonging to a regional theater company or being on TV.

When I first started out in Houston, it was theater or bust. And I loved it. I still love it. And then I went to undergraduate and graduate school for acting.

I don't think the jet-setting life is really for most people.

Home is where you feel unjudged, and where what I do isn't necessarily stupid or wrong.

It was just wet, not stinky?
