I just saw dialogue, in the audition, and had no backstory. I was like, I'm just going to be myself because I have no idea who this is or where he's coming from. The typical questions that actors have to ask themselves were very hard. I had to imagine, a little bit, and just made it work.

Until I did my work and I did my utmost best, I feel like I don't have a right to feel excited.

It was only when I went to acting school that I was like, You are absolutely such a pigheaded freak show that you thought you, at the age of 12 or 13, could have a better understanding of Stanislavski. Why did you think that you didn't need to go to school? It was quite funny. But, I was certainly inspired.

There's this feeling, when you stop believing it's a show and you're there and this is happening.

You look for the roles where, when you read it, you're just like, Yes, I know that. I know that feeling. I know what it means to feel like that. I know this person. When you have a soulful connection to a part, that's a dream come true.

You provide a lot of people with entertainment, and that's what will happen. I don't think you should ever feel like you're used to anything of that nature because you're no different from anyone else.
