When I first started out, I said to myself, if this doesn't happen there will be something else that I can do. That seemed possible because I knew how to do so many different kinds of jobs.

It's fun to explore areas that are taboo that you're not allowed to in real life as an actor.

I'm a Taurus. To the bone.

You've got each other's back. I think if everyone shows up with that attitude, then everybody has a great time, and I think the work is better as well.

I've been painting off and on since I was in sixth grade. I don't paint when I'm acting - I'm not really able to split my focus that way. I do it intensely when I'm doing it, but I'm reluctant to take myself too seriously as a painter because that would mean there would be pressure to be better than I am.

I think that I am a compulsive person, but now I'm learning to put those compulsions into healthy things.

If I do a move I don't like, I don't want to get so upset with myself.
