One thing you notice is, there's a lot of people with raw talent, and then there's people who take that talent and work hard.
As an actor, the toughest thing is being subject to circumstance. Meaning: What scripts are out there that are available?
People have asked me about playing outsiders. I don't consider myself an outsider. Maybe that's why I'm interested in that. I'm not really sure.
I don't want my learning curve to be stunted by just all of a sudden doing work all the time and not being careful about the work that I'm doing.
I've seen people, where if they have to wait around the set for three hours, and they call you at the wrong time, and they're not ready for you, some people don't like that.
I love filming in New York. I love New York movies, too. I just like it when people can take New York and make it their own, because there are so many different New Yorks.
Theater is hard.
Certainly, being on stage is a rush.
I don't know that praise is always a good thing.
Nobody is a perfect actor.
I'm very low-maintenance.
I don't normally like getting dressed up, but when I go to events, I like to look put together. I've got to say, getting in a nice suit feels good.
One of my favorite things I read was John Steinbeck's journals while he was writing 'East of Eden,' which was so cool.
The hardest thing about working with your partner is that the work starts to become first.
It's hard to talk about acting because I don't think it's quite as explicit as a lot of people might think. And that's probably the best thing about it.
I've definitely had mentors, whether parents or friends or actors who I like.
I like the idea of finding parts that I know I can do but I don't totally understand them right away.
New York is kind of a mythological city in may ways.
I know I am always pumped, as an audience member, to go and see a Western.
I think that the Western went away for a while because part of its function was that it used to be America's action film.
