parent lines grew
I grew up without a lot of money and my parents grew up with far less money. And that's kept me in line. Really in line.
thinking hands interesting
It's interesting because you feel on the one hand, we understand people from what the say, and in another sense, you'd think that you'd be able to convey more through dialogue.
bags
I bet they didn't tell you that was in the gift bag.
trying pace sake
I try to pace myself and not work for the sake of working and stick to what inspired me prior to receiving recognition.
thinking attention doe
I think you have to be fair with one another. It's unfortunate when someone does something that's not authentic, or not there for any reason other than to draw attention.
jobs sight requirements
Depending on what my job requirement is, my techniques change. If something is incredibly difficult to connect to, and painful, then I have to do a lot of work to connect to that and not joke around or lose sight of my job.
jobs thinking new-job
The normal routine is always the same thing whether it's on a new movie or a new job - there's always a process of getting to know one another. I think part of what makes movies special is that it is a relatively intimate environment and it's pretty short-lived - you get to know one another very quickly.
appreciate people support
It's great when people appreciate your work, but I don't know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing, and that can even be extremely lucrative, but I love it either way.
would-be boring earnest
It would be terribly boring to be earnest.
actors
I always had an actor within me.
thinking special-you avant-garde
What guides me is to do work that's more avant-garde - things that I think are special. You can easily become a celebrity and get caught up in all that blur. I just want to work and surprise myself.
dedication focus acting
Film is a time capsule. If I have a lack of dedication or focus, it's permanently there as a negative reminder.
loneliness loss people
It made me have a much greater understanding of loss, of loneliness, and the level of intense tragedy that so many people have experienced in this world, I take a lot less for granted.
dad years half
My dad told me, 'It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success', and it took me seventeen and a half years.
