I grew up as a really sick kid; I had really bad childhood asthma and was at home all the time in New York.

The best notes are action-based and less, I don't know, heady, theoretical, because, as actors, we're too much in our heads anyway.

With drama, you need to be laughing, in between takes, 'cause you're going to those recesses of your soul and those dangerous parts. Normally, if you're not an actor or some crazy artist, you don't feel the need to run around in those areas. You keep them separate because it's painful.

I love the phrase, 'Somebody's going to have a good day today, so it might as well be me.' I feel like you bring everything to the character, I hope.

I mean, the great thing about being an actor is you can investigate parts of your brain that might have otherwise gone dormant.

When you're an actor or any kind of artist, you use your life as something to draw from in every experience.

Just to be part of a process where you hit no professional speed bumps and you're just sort of going on and on. I'm surrounded by these people that are all so collaborative and all bring things of their own to the process. For them to be alive in the scenes so you don't have to worry.
