Both my parents work in film. They're crew. I love movies, and I just wanted to be involved. I got really lucky. I auditioned for a while and then started making films.

You're literally being an actor - you're pretending - and that's not what I like to do.

I love sitting down and having actual conversations. But I don't do that sound-bite, be-candidly-funny thing.

I want to be an actor, I am just not very comfortable talking about myself.

If you're an honest person, you'll make mistakes, but it'll be okay. The most interesting things happen after making mistakes.

I think by default I wanted to be an actor because, on a movie set as a little kid, the only thing that you can do is be an actor. And I was really enthralled by the whole process.

I mean there's that awesome quote where Joanne Woodward said, 'Acting is like sex: you should do it, not talk about it.'
