You just can't be scared to do things that you think are mistakes.

Sometimes if you've got a story that's interesting enough, you don't need to pour sugar on ice cream. The ice cream is great.

I feel like I'm still learning the ropes of how television works. Obviously I have good folks surrounding me on different shows. It's funny because sometimes in film I'm sort of the third guy to the left, you can be as insane as you want to be as that guy.

I feel strongly about showing up and being prepared and not taking the opportunity for granted and being conscientious about my fellow co-workers.

I think a lot about the editing of the films when we're making them, partly because I studied that, and partly because if you think about being in love while you're supposed to be acting in love, there's nowhere to go. You have to focus on something else and then do what's being asked, and you might get some semblance of something interesting.

You can't have a director say, Just be you you have to have an aim. It's like when you throw darts, you have to know where the bullseye is. You can't just say, No no no no no, drop the darts. Just stand. We're going to film you. You have to get there indirectly. You have to have me doing something, and then you can get me.

What the entertainment industry can do is tempt you into making stupid mistakes, but the only tool that they have to tempt you is money. So if youre okay saying no to money, then you can say no to a lot of things that you might be embarrassed of later.
