Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are

I'm approaching the idea of taking on a responsibility as great as saying, "I'm good enough to be in your movie." It's a huge statement to make, and every time I do it, I think, "Is this the right choice?"

Some people get the wrong idea, you know. If you're quiet and you're just not the most gregarious person, that you're like.. I don't know, self-involved, rude possibly, frigid. I get that a lot from people who don't know me, like online all you guys think I never smile, ever. It's not true. I do smile sometimes.

I have brothers, and that so-called boyish quality was something that I was deathly self-conscious about when I was younger.

I'm also human so I have days when I look in the mirror and go, "All right . . . Things are definitely changing." I can see that.

In personal conversations between director and actor, the male directors that I've worked with are just as emotional. Maybe it's because I had to start having very intimate conversations with adult men at a very young age in order to get the work, but I'm really comfortable with dudes. I mean, we push boundaries in this business in terms of getting to know people.

It's okay,' you know? It's okay to be you. It's okay to just not be okay. It's okay to not be okay.
