Rejection just motivates me to keep trying and to try to do better.

When I run into disappointment - say, for example, not getting a role I'd hoped for - I just try not to take it personally.

I am selective, but at the same time, I want to be out there as an actor and show people my range.

I think the big evolutionary step for me is directing my own movies.

I like to work. I don't like to have lulls. I feel like it makes me lazy and uncreative, and that's when your ideas become stagnant.

Growning up I felt incredibly guilty anout my fantasies and the things I wanted sexually. I was like: "Why do I feel this way? I don't understand it, but nobody's going to talk to me about it because we're not allowed to talk about that..."

I wasn't that kid where if you told me 'No,' I was just going to do it anyway.
