When I was 22, I thought I couldn't wear heels because of my height.

Sometimes I can spend months doing things to make sure that my instincts work correctly, but ultimately it's still instinctive.

You either are a good director or you're not.

If you choose to do both [acting and directing] on a set, than you're admitting that you understand that everyone is in it for the same goal and it's a collaborative experience. You can't really jump into being an actor, and than direct yourself. At some point, you have to be willing to accept other people's opinions. I think that's helpful. If you try to micro-manage and control all of it, than you're probably heading for disaster.

I suppose the reason why I like acting is because I'm curious about human nature, and the less I know about a character on the page, instinctively, in a way, the better.

If you act scared, your body produces adrenaline.

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be an actor. It has just always been an inevitability on some level.
