I find that communication as an actor and person is an important part of who I am. And I'm really drawn into the psychology of those dynamics.

I knew I needed a partner. I needed someone who could focus on and spearhead the business side of things, and [Neal Dodson] was great at that. That's how it started.

I think the goal is always to go deeper within myself, and accept myself on deeper levels and to know myself on deeper levels. Whether or not I look for roles that are going to do that for me, I certainly look for the ways in which the roles I get can do that for me.

The play I did on Broadway a couple of seasons ago started out of town and it moved its way into New York because of the experience that we had out of town.

We just have to have visibility. We have to have acknowledgement. We have to have accountability to how we treat one another.

I think I integrated that over the first couple of years that I was out of school, mostly in auditions, to be honest.

There was no other concern; there was no other focus [in the Governor's School]. It was simply there to learn and grow and perform, and that was pretty amazing and informative. I'd say that was a big pivotal moment for me.
