I can listen to the same song back-to-back for two to three hours straight. I'm not psycho; I swear.

When you do something that people respond to, and then you start altering the blueprint for what worked, it's pretty fear-inducing. But sometimes, you have to do that, in order to push the boundaries.

Mara Casey gave me my first job. I saw something online, and it was for a part in a "Gilmore Girls" episode, and I thought I was right for it.

I would say 'The Master' was one of the most inspiring things I've ever got to work on.

Nothing I do is salacious or provocative or shocking for the sake of that.
