I grew up in Evanston and lived in Chicago for a long time, in Old Town and Wrigleyville. I did three films when I was in high school. The first was 'Class,' with Rob Lowe. I had a supporting role in that.

I have a bit of a rebellious nature.

I just love the process of working with other actors. It's like jamming with a musician, except it takes a little more effort to get to that place as an actor, because you have the cameras and lights and everything. But I love jamming with these people.

The minute you realize that your options are unlimited, things just start falling into place all around you.

The ages two to 15 I spent at different stages of shortness. I didn't become a tall person until I was 16.

I've seen the people who talk about their love lives in print invariably have doomed relationships with the person they're talking about.

If I'm in something that I think is kinda good, it stays with me like a fever dream for a long time afterwards. I don't recall the finished product so much as the feeling of making it.
