I'm always interested in are stories that challenge people.

I've worked on shows where the lead actor doesn't know their lines, doesn't care, and it affects everybody - the crew, the director, the other actors. It's definitely a responsibility.

Sometimes I'll go into a shop and speak in a different accent to see if I can pull it off. But then somebody will be like, 'Where did you say you were from again?' And then I panic, and my accent dissolves, and I pretend like I wasn't doing it in the first place.

My mom's a translator, my dad's a woodworker; that's the world I grew up in, that's the world I'm most comfortable in. The whole idea of Hollywood or any of that other stuff that unfortunately goes along with film, that wasn't part of my upbringing, thankfully.

So much of how you look at yourself in the mirror reflects how you feel about yourself, and how you comport yourself.

I'm so inspired and stimulated by the work that it doesn't ever feel like work.

I love nerdy work. I love writing notes. I try to go back, as much as I can, to feed what happens and why they do what they do.
