I went to tranny bars and kind of got used to being around that and then getting dressed up.

I remember going to the theatre when I was little and the lights going down and just getting really scared about what was going to happen up there.

You try to get to know your character as best as you can before you start filming - whats written and not written.

My first thought about acting, growing up here in New York, was theater, and I feel like I need to force myself to go get my ass kicked in a rehearsal room and do one of those plays at some point.

Michael Caine is so happy. Happy and healthy. I think he enjoys life. I think he's 82 now, and I have no clue if I'll be working at that age.

I approach every role from scratch.

On set, the playground for the character, how much it takes varies. Is it like ballet, is it like jazz? The content always lends itself to the form, and it's really not mathematics.
