For me, honestly, I'm an actor. There's one thing I know how to do - act. And that's all I know how to do. Through our work, [actors] can trigger awareness.

I actually didn't read the book [Fast Food Nation]. I wasn't aware of it. But when I read the script, I thought "Wow." It became a project that was just so exciting to be a part of. Maybe a few times in a career [you] get a chance for a role that really means something, and this was it.

I want to be some kind of a pilot. And the other thing that I really like is psychology.

Honestly, Ive been very blessed. Yes, I am cursed with this gift.

For me, I understood the gift of being able to empower others and to not do everything yourself.

I think at some point you have to empower others and really allow everyone else to do what they're hired to do and what they're brought onto the team to do.

As an actor, you should be willing to take challenges.
