I've been kind of lucky. I've always just kind of followed whatever my passion was, and that seems to have led me to better places than if I had followed some career trajectory, which I wouldn't even know how to start.

There's no master plan; I'm just going with what I'm inspired to do and what I get asked to do, and luckily the things I've been the most passionate about, I've gotten to do. And a lot of times I've gone up for movies that I didn't really care that much about, and I never got that.

I think music is my favorite thing to do, but I go through periods where I think differently.

Jazz is a constant theme in my life. My father is a jazz pianist, and from an early age I have been surrounded by it.
