The way that I work is very specific, very thorough, and the process has to be totally clear.

I think Andrew Stanton is such an amazing, creative mind.

I can't really connect with things unless they are spiritual in nature, so I have to make acting spiritual for myself, and each role a spiritual journey for me.

Every role that you accept makes you grow in some way. It's part of the creative process.

In my career, I've really wanted to sort of be a morpher and not show my own identity.

From the beginning of time, we've told stories, Shamans and Medicine People, and not to be pompous about it, but I feel like that is the lineage I take down and where I come from. There is magic to storytelling.

I'm a trained martial artist. My parents were both martial artists.
