Being a part of the theater community has been important to me from the time I was a child, through my parents.

I was shooting Beyond Redemption, I started shooting American Horror Story, so I was going back and forth between Northern California and LA. That was not bad at all - that flight is like getting on the subway, it's nothing. And then during rehearsals.

It's very hard when you're doing a new play that you believe in, and you want to tell the story in the best way possible.

You want to feel like people are hiring you because they want to work with you, not because of who your parents are.

I think every script I read has something that sends me into a state of panic but that usually makes me want to do it.

I had never done a 90-minute play with no intermission, so it is a bit like you get onto the train and you don't get off until it's over - and it's over very quickly, so don't miss a moment of it. That experience is very rare and specific so don't miss a minute, because there aren't very many minutes of it.

The only thing that matters is the theater!
