What you always try to do, as an actor, is find the thing that's universal in the person.

You can imagine an already unstable mind that's completely entitled and has been given anything they wanted, throughout their whole life, and lived in a bubble with a domineering, in a very quietly manipulating way, mother, that child mentality never gets a chance to mature and discover its own limitations. It just runs rampant.

You learn a lot about acting and being physical and being on stage, but there is technical stuff on camera that you can't learn until you do it.

We all have monsters inside of us, and we all have an inner child in us. You always think about your inner child as being the sweet and innocent part of yourself, but it's also the part that's all ego with the mentality of, If the world isn't pleasing me, it isn't doing its job.

In film, you're so much in the hands and at the mercy of the editor, so sometimes it's good to watch it just to see how it turns out - it can be so different than how you imagined it. But sometimes it's better to just let it go for your own sense of self worth.

Writing is something Ive always done on the side. I thought that no one would be interested, so I kept it to myself.

Physically, I was always moving. I was always a little jittery.

That's one of my real goals is to keep theater in my life.
