I firmly believe that you can't manufacture chemistry with anyone, let alone a kid.

I never took acting classes, but I knew I could do it based on the skill with which I lied to my parents on a regular basis!

Each time I take a role, I'm always nervous about it at the beginning and I'm always afraid what if that, what if this. Every time I take a role and I'm somewhat terrified at the beginning and I get into it and I start working, that's a big win for me. So, really it is stepping forward in the face of whatever fears that I've created for myself and going forward anyway and those are always big moments for me.

Hollywood is so strange because a lot of times the battlefield is just a meeting. It's not necessarily like an audition. They've seen clips of you and they know that you can perform and it's a matter of "what is your take on a character"?

I'll do whatever it takes for a movie. I don't really care what that is.

I remember that coming to America was scary for me because everything here is just bigger, better, shinier, you know?

I come from a family of cops, and all of them share that understanding that they put their lives on the line.
