There are a handful of actors who sustain interest because it's exciting to watch them get better at what they do. I want to be one of those actors.

Of course my family and friends are incredibly valuable to me. They keep me sane, they teach me things and I love spending time with them. I think that ranking what you value is a sort of western and linear way of looking at things.

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

I like a director that encourages me to be playful. I don't really like being restricted or controlled by a director.

The exercise in theater is night after night you are doing the same play, but you have another opportunity to explore. It changes nightly even because of the audience and your day going into the evening of the performance. With film it's much more controlled.

I worked regularly from very early on, and some of it was probably a bit premature.

I feel like I have a skill set, but every experience is different and there's always room for improvement.
