I was really surprised when I started working and realized that you're actually on your own, a lot of the time. It makes you really responsible, as an actor.

I think, a lot of times, directors assume that whatever they get from you the first time, whether it be at an audition or on set, is all that you can bring.

There's part of me that's grateful for the delusion, because it takes a very hard shell to get started as an actor, and I don't have a very hard shell.

I grew up with my grandfather [Elia Kazan] being famous in a way that's not like Beyoncé, but famous in a relative way. It made me feel weird about the way that we treat people that are famous, and it made me feel weird about fame in general.

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.

If I ever feel that acting is just soul-sucking and I don't want to do it anymore, I could stop.

I have mad luck. I'm super-good at games like backgammon or anything that requires rolling dice.
