I got into acting because I wanted to act and I love acting. That's my true north: to be creative and to be challenged in what I love to do.

I like to disappear in the parts I play.

I know what it's like to have these big multinational corporations invade your land and promise jobs and promise it's gonna be safe, and then you see the consequences.

We're warriors, this culture, and we're very puritanical about sex and very embracing about violence and I don't know why that is.

But, the relationships that I see work - As long as they're telling the truth, and saying the things that you don't ever want to have to say to another human being.

I try to do the things that speak to me in one way or another, and sometimes I'm even drastic.

That's what I love about music...all these banalities suddenly turn into these beautiful, effervescent pearls.
