You know, it only happens a handful of times in your career, where you walk out of an audition feeling like all the stars aligned, my preparation paid off, something magical happened in the room. I've gotten really lucky and I've gotten to work a lot, and I would say it's only happened, like, two or three times, where I've walked out and been like, This was the right thing and the right choice and they should just cast me.

So often you're asked to play impossibly perfect version of yourself on screen that it's nice to get to bring in those parts that you think aren't as worth looking at.

When we do something we're not proud of, a lot of people don't want to look at that, people may say "what people don't know won't hurt them."

I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn't do it, but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.

On a personal level, just for me in my own work, I would say the most interesting thing has been getting to work with the people that I've worked with.

I think action should be revealed through character, so if you have a plot problem, it's probably a character problem.
