Stop being scared of the unknown, because anything I worried about didn't happen. Other stuff happened. The unknown, we can't do anything about.

I grew up in a way where I didn't realize there were limitations.I always thought I could speak my mind.

When you're an actor, seeing yourself for the first time, you spend all your time just watching yourself and hating yourself and picking your performance apart. You say, "I look horrible. I should quit."

I used to be an optimist, but now I know that nothing is going to turn out as I expect.

We just assume all the great actors are in New York first and then L.A. second, and it's so not true. There's such amazing talent everywhere. It's exciting that now that there are these sort of new Hollywoods or new filmmaking communities that really benefit from these great faces and character actors and leading actors that just are fresh and exciting and bring an authenticity to the piece.

I don't think we are the only planet that has life.

I don't want to be seen as the kind of person who does things and then expects publicity in return.
