I Just Don't Plan Things. I Live

I Loved Acting As A Kid Because I Was Kind Of Shy, So It Brought Me Out Of Myself. Acting For Kids Is Like Playing House, You Know? But Growing Up In Hollywood, It Just Made It Seem Possible. It Wasn't Like Some Idea Of Going To Hollywood; It Was In My Backyard. I Lived Two Blocks From Grauman's Chinese Theatre Growing Up. It Was What People Did. It's An Industry Town. So It Wasn't Some Far-off Fantasy, It Was Like "oh Yeah, When You Grow Up, You Do This Because That's What People Do Here."

I'm A Typical Middle Child. I'm The Mediator. The One That Makes Everything Ok, Puts Their Own Needs Aside To Make Sure Everybody's Happy. It's Hard To Change Your Nature, Even With Years And Years Of Therapy.

You Try To Find The Internal Life, But A Lot Of It Is Creating It Through Physical Behavior And Figuring Out The Voice When You Create As Much Of A Past As You Would In A Naturalistic Piece. But It's Fun, Because It's Like You're Learning Something, Learning Some Kind Of Physical Skill.

People Equate Success With Youth. And If You Haven't Had A Certain Amount Of Success By A Certain Time In Your Life, It's Never Going To Happen. There's A Fear About That. So People Start Lying About Their Age Really Young. I've Never Done That Because I Think It's So Insignificant.
