I think the best thing I ever did was never tell anyone I wanted to be an actor. I find if you tell people what you're dreaming about, they'll usually come up with lots of reasons to not chase your dreams.

The first time my parents found out I was acting was when a friend told them they had just come back from a play I was in.

I find myself changing my entire lifestyle every three years or so, and I'm comfortable in being an outsider. I have grown up like that.

I've always wanted to be an actor, but I didn't know how to become one.
