There have been people in my life who have told me I have to put myself out there more. But it's so hard for me to do that.

I have days when I just feel I look like a dog.

You have a choice. It may not be a choice you like, but it is still a choice.

Acting's an odd profession for a young person; it's so extreme. You work, and the conditions are tough and the process is so immersive, and then it stops, and then there's nothing. So you have to find ways of making you feel productive when you're not actually producing anything. For a young person, that's really challenging.

And I'm a really happy person, I enjoy life. I think you see that on people. I think there's nothing more aging than misery.

If you think hitting 40 is liberating, wait until you hit 50; and I was surprised at how liberating it was. The anticipation of something is always much worse than the reality.
