I was born two months early, and everyone had given up on me. But my mother insisted on my life.
I sometimes like the pictures photographers take of me.
I learned to hear silence. That's the kind of life I lived: simple. I learned to see things in people around me, in my mom, dad, brothers and sisters.
Acting isn't a game of "pretend." It's an exercise in being real.
So it's been kind of a long road, but it was a good journey altogether.
When I set out to become an actor, I had set myself a standard.
