I try to keep myself in what I'm doing and focused on character stuff, as opposed to getting wrapped up in worrying or being nervous. It won't benefit me, in any way, to focus on that.

I was a freshman and auditioned for the school play. Freshmen usually never got cast. I was the first freshman to be actually given a legitimate part and it was that feeling of 'Wow! I broke the system!'

To me, giving back is so important. It makes others feel good which then in return makes me feel good.

I do enjoy doing both film and television.

I was so nervous when I moved out at 18. I had a couple thousand dollars to my name. I remember it was all trial and error for me. I had to figure it all out on my own.

When I was younger, playing piano and guitar were all things that I wanted to do for a short period of time, like any kid.

Paris is different from LA in regards to its historical architecture. I think that's what gives Paris it's charm and beauty.

I think you can leave the arts, superior or inferior, to the conscience of mankind.

When I make art, I think about its ability to connect with others, to bring them into the process.

I think art is the imperfectly perfect or perfectly imperfect way of self-expression.

I think all art - even one as lowly as making jokes about celebrities - is there to make a connection.

I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences.
