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

I think that ultimately I just have to be myself. You know, I don't do anything that outlandish anyway.

My grandmother took me to a lot of theater. I was exposed to performance quite a bit - everything from Broadway to off-Broadway and dance and music as well. I was very lucky that way. It was a very rich childhood.

The only thing that gets me through any type of pain, emotional or physical, is to make it worthwhile by putting it into my work.

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

I'm not good at keeping secrets. If I'm entrusted with a secret from a friend, I can do that because I'm a good friend, but I don't like having secrets, it makes me nervous.

I did a run of a play over the summer in a really tiny theater in New York and that was rejuvenating for me. I directed a short series for Hulu called Paloma and being in an editing room, I learned a lot about acting.
