Vanity is a silly thing to be obsessed with because... it sounds cliché but it leads you to emptiness; it goes away.

I've actually always been interested in following a character more long term, but the only place to really do that as an actor is on a TV series.

People sometimes actually get me to think I take things too seriously and maybe I'm too earnest and it's coming across like I'm better than them.

I just really am trying, trying, all the time. But I like to be scared. I love to suddenly feel out of control.

It's very counterintuitive to boil down something so personal, something that requires privacy. All of a sudden, you open it up to the world and put it in a context where you could easily trivialize what you've done. If people sense that discomfort, they're not wrong.

When I dress up, I have to have a lot of help. I was in a T-shirt until a few minutes ago.

I start to lose my mind if I'm not working on something, like breaking my back on something.
