My Earliest Memories Are Doing Commercials And

Otherness Is A Big Thing For Me. I'm Always Drawn To Characters That Live Lives That I Couldn't Lead.

Any Actor Working A Long Time Should Know How A Shot Is Set Up, Where To Place Themselves, How To Handle The Lines. I'm A Member Of The Crew, Like The Best Boy, The Electrician. What I'm Good At Is Making Eyes At The Camera.

I Was Raised With A Single Mom And We Had A Very Specific, Very Particular Relationship. She Worked With Me And My Job. I Was Almost Three And We Traveled Everywhere Together And She Was Really In My Life In A Really Profound Way. The Most Significant Relationship Of My Life. It Was Beautiful And Also An Incredible, Difficult Struggle. I Know How Creative That Life Is, And How Difficult It Is To Figure It Out.

Every Movie Changes You. The Process Of Making A Film Changes You. You Have To Be Obsessed, You Have To Get Up At 3 In The Morning And Go "wait, I Have An Idea!" You Have To Continually Be Drawn Over And Over Again To Deepening Inside That Story, And Ruminating Over Questions: "why Would He Say This To Her? Why If He Was Standing There, Would She Go?" Every One Of Those Answers Has To Come From Some Personal Place, And In Order To Do That, You Can't Sit On The Surface. It's Such A Big Change That You Can't Really Explain It To Anyone Else.

I Think There Is Something To Being Curious About Your Choices, But Not Wanting To Kind Of Pierce The Bubble Of Them, Because It Takes Away From The Act Of Discovering.
