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 really started acting when I was 12 when I was doing this television show called 'Jack & Bobby.'

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

What you choose to do professionally is a reflection of yourself and I take that seriously as an actor. But even as a filmmaker, I take it even more seriously.

I have a hard time watching myself.

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.

I did a commercial when I was, like, 5 or 6 years old for... what was it called?... Cabbage Patch Kids! That was the first thing I ever did. Little bit embarrassing.
