I'm taking the indie filmmaker's approach to building my career and that approach is developing a relationship with the fans.

The Universe responds to specificity.

Because I came into acting late, my references come from real life. That's my biggest inspiration. It's probably the reason I moved back to New York. I'm just a lot more inspired by real life than I am by depictions of real life.

My goal in life is to bring to the screen really believable depictions that make you think, "Damn, I have to look within myself."

I haven't really been auditioning. For me is about finding quality work versus finding work. I get a considerable amount of offers everyday.

It's extremely difficult to come across quality material. It's a competitive world.

Stillness empowers. Being able to detach from all external stimulants - social media, social engagements, TV, alcohol, food, etc. - and face our own silence is an enormous luxury that should not be taken for granted. The most rewarding moments in my life have stemmed from such stillness.
