It's my passion, that's what I wanna do, it's the end goal, that's what I crave every second of the day is to be working on a production but also to be the person leading the production and guiding the pacing of the storytelling.

I have a hard time watching myself.

I grew up going to school and high school and then shooting a movie for a few months. It's an odd way to grow up and is kind of forced maturity.

I got into acting to get my foot in the door for film-making.

I'm in a position where - I mean, not a lot of people are in a very fortunate position - where I kind of have the power to choose what I want to do in a way.

It's like, to me, acting is like a child walking in the park, the better the actor, the greater the playground he has.

I don't really look around and say, 'I've made it.' I just look around and think how fortunate I am to work with the people I'm working with.
