High school was interesting, because I went from a public school middle school to an academy where the first year we were doing Latin, chemistry, biology. I mean, I was woefully unprepared for the type of study.

Austin is such a free and creative place, but I can't enjoy it as much because everyone I love is back in L.A.

Sometimes that's the hardest thing is to not do anything, but just to trust what's on the page.

I love playing a role where I think I'm right and then you learn you're not.

I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan.

What, am I supposed to run around in a little red cape and save the world?

I don't want to say I'm never going to direct again, but directing's hard work.
