It's important to say that actors can't act alone, it's impossible. What we have to do is support each other.

To be loved, I think, is the thing that gets you up in the morning.

When you're acting, you're subjective; when you're a director, you're more objective.You're kind of watching from the outside and helping others, and therefore I learn my mistakes through others, and also my assets through others.

I would never not work on the part without it playing. That's what being an actor is. You use everything that's influenced you to help you get out of yourself or be more creative.

My favorite thing about acting is being alone and going through the scripts and working on it and getting ideas and asking myself questions, looking outside myself for them and researching and getting to the bottom of something and being creative with it as an actor and how to express it in a creative fashion. That's my favorite part. And, the actual acting of it.

I got into plays in high school then I ended up going to college for it.

I think you ultimately have to love who you're playing. You have to have that kind of feeling. You have to have passion for the person.
