And when I get bored, it's like the worst parts of me come out. I really veer to self-destructive tendencies quickly.

I've worked with a lot of really famous people. It stops being weird really quickly. For me, at least.

I really love people. I love to meet people. I'm curious about people.

I never wanted to be a playwright.

I was 14, when I wanted to be an actor. My parents were basically like, "This is a very hard life, and you have to be really serious about it, and show us that you're serious about it. You can't drop out of school." They strongly encouraged me not to act professionally until I finished college, which I didn't. And I think they should have been horrified! It's a really hard life. I'd be really scared if I had a child who wanted to be an actor.

Nothing's going to come to you by sitting around and waiting for it.

My hero is Michelle Williams, who I grew close to when we did 'Meek's Cutoff.' She's an extraordinary actor and mom.
