Sometimes I have these abstract ideas and then lose track of myself.

Being an actor is looked at like a prolonged game of dress-up. America puts movie stars on pedestals. In college, it's the flip side. I sometimes have to justify my job to my professors because they're focused on intellect and ideas.

Theater makes working in movies or TV seem like a cake-walk.

I like a director who is very observant and is watching what I'm doing and noticing what I'm doing, but is giving me time to figure it out. They don't jump right in and give you a note before you've had time to really search on your own with how to do a scene.

In my worst moments, I try to think about loving instead of hating. Creation versus destruction, know what I'm sayin'?

I am forever grateful that I got some training in the theater - it reduces performance anxiety.

I think it's really special to be a part of something that people are still watching or thinking about or interested in, or remember fondly many years later. I don't think it's annoying at all.
