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 should never step outside of your life and look at it like it’s this malleable thing you can shape so that people view it a certain way.

I mean, I love L.A. - I love living here. But I wish that we could make things without the need to hit a home run every single time. It's a unique thing to Hollywood that if you don't do that every time, then you're considered a failure. But it's like, 'Well, are you making movies to be successful? Or are you making movies to learn something?'

You don't always just have to do an indie movie to feel like you're controlling it with a few people that you really have connected with, creatively. You can do it on a bigger scale.

Anytime I hear that somebody's really rich, the first question is, 'Do you do anything with it? Or do you, like, chill? You just sit on it?'

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

Some people aren't comfortable with being comfortable. Some people really want to be pushed and find people that they can pull something out of you that you didn't know you had, and you can scare yourself.
