Anytime that I've felt uninspired, I don't force myself to sit down and write. I only do it when I feel the impulse.

I never wanted to be a playwright.

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.

What I did have was an incredible amount of belief in myself.

When I would get close on a part but wouldn't get it, I would be like, "They made a mistake," which is not how I think about things now. I both admire it and I'm grateful for the modicum of health, knowledge, and humility that I have acquired over the last 10 or 15 years.

I was a vegetarian for a really long time, from 7 to 23, so I feel like some things aren't that weird but they seem weird to me, like blood sausage or snails. Those are things I've eaten now that, years ago, it would have been totally improbable that I would have eaten.

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