Today is the day you have to start believing in yourself. No one can do it for you anymore.

Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.

Like my dad, I have a Christmas party most years. I like to celebrate and see as many people as possible.

I'd pay more just to hear proper English and have everyone keep their clothes on

I think there's more pressure to stand out in a way that is measurable externally. The fame culture is definitely way worse and weirder than it was when we were in high school.

If you do have something you love to do, the fun part of the job is no different than what was fun about doing it in high school for no money. I thought there would be some greater reward in succeeding.

I definitely wanted to be an actor. I didn't want to be on TV, I didn't want to be famous, I didn't want to be anyone in particular; I just wanted to do it. I see young people now who look at magazines, or American Idol and their goal is to have that lifestyle - to have good handbags, or go out with cute guys from shows, or whatever. But I definitely wanted to be an actor.
