My second grade teacher told me I would never graduate high school. That I was going to be a juvenile delinquent.

I think I might do an animated film next. I'm serious.

I grew up in a very small town in Florida, like, 7,000 people.

I think when you're looking for scripts or for characters around your own age, a lot of the times they don't have the kind of responsibility that is usually seen in parts that are older for you.

Acting is such a high art, and coming from theater, I know how hard it is and respect the craft. I want to look back when it ends, and say I challenged myself. I wanted to be an actor you always remember, and those who are the great ones. That's just a personal journey. If you're too comfortable you're taking it too easy. The director can direct you for two months but before that it's just you and your internal drive. I want people to go to my movies and know it'll be good, and with great actors. You never know what you'll learn from just staying in the same space with them.

I just love the history of acting. It's such a beautiful craft and you absolutely get out of it what you put into it.
