There's a real passing down in the theater, almost ad nauseam. You have to listen to older people talk about their experience, but it makes you very aware of what has come before you or what is coming after you - that you're a part of a link in a chain. It's not all about you.

At school I was always trying to con my teachers into letting me act out book reports instead of writing them.

I think everybody handles things very differently and you can conjecture, but until you're put in that situation, you really don't know.

I love to work in all sorts of different situations. I think you learn a lot, which is why I try not to approach something the same way, because it might not be appropriate, and then you can get lazy just out of boredom. So I love any approach.

For me to have the opportunity to stay with one character for, God willing, a long period of time, is really exciting.

I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.
