As an actor, you're afforded these experiences that are once-in-a-lifetime for so many people. More often than not, you can't tell the seasons based on the changing of the leaves, but on the experiences you've had.

I do not have the angst and the anxiety of my youth. I've gotten to a place where I'm very comfortable with who I am.

Whenever you show up on a set where you haven't been from the beginning - at least myself - I'm kind of quiet. I just watch the politics and how everything unfolds. It's kind of like going to a new high school. You want to see who everyone is before you introduce yourself, really, to kind of make friends. I think any smart person does that in social situations

I aimlessly travel, meaning I have no agenda other than to get small in the world, be quiet and observe people.

I don't take a scene or word for granted.

I like storytelling, and I feel more confident as the years have gone on about my ability to do that.
