In real life, I always look at people and how they walk, or how they carry themselves. I think about the body a lot, in performance.

The love of a parent, that connection, it's eternal.

The clothes, the shoes, the gold belts and the necklaces always click me into the character, for sure. You could not feel the character, and then you put on the shoes and get the walk.

I went to drama school at New York University.

I think in show business, it's really kind of easy to perpetuate that feeling of, like, Oh, I don't measure up. Or always having to prove yourself.

You really get a feeling, when you're reading scripts, pretty quickly. Within 20 or 25 pages, you can get a sense of the part. I always think about whether I'm right for it and whether I can do it. If I don't think I'm right for it, it should go to somebody else.

Nobody knows how long you're going to have life on Earth, so you really have to work at being joyous and happy.
