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

You can't print everything and that's not good for filmmaking, because you wanna have as many options as possible and print as much as you can, but if you're going to shoot a film - an independent movie on film, the only way to really do it is to print your selects.

I love learning from the filmmakers that I'm working with, but more importantly, I love learning from the crew.

A lot of times, when I'm approaching pre-production and my job, and trying to research and work on the script and whatnot it's always different.

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

Some people don't have an open mind, and when I was traveling to different places I think I found it hard to enjoy things. You know, I come from a great city where there are lots of things happening, and if you end up in a small town where you don't have all those things you can feel the difference. Somewhere along the way, though, I think I learned to appreciate the difference.

I started studying filmmakers, and I would say early on the ones that really inspired me the most were like the field magicians of music videos.
