I feel like people want there to be this mystery between film and theater, but I just kind of went where I got jobs, you know?
If a guy was like, 'Let me serenade you,' and it was bad, and I had to lie about it - can't have it.
To not be self-conscious of your appearance is huge, and something that I desperately hope to carry into film at some point in my useless life - to not be thinking, 'My ear looks weird from this angle, why is the camera over there?'
Nobody pulls a prank like George Clooney.
We should be thanking Apple for launching the $10,000 'apple watch' as the new gold standard in douchebag detection.
My parents were really, really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug. They would drive me down to New York if there were auditions. When I was 12, I did this show on Broadway called 'High Society,' so we moved to New York for the run of that.
I remember hearing once that good girls don't get caught. I think that's sort of a lot of what my teen years were like.
I'm so humble it's crazy. I'm like the Kanye West of humility.
'Rocket Science' is really where I fell in love with filmmaking, I think 'Camp' was incredible, but it was so bizarre, and I was trying to find my footing in this world where you don't have an audience for immediate validation.
I like to think of myself less like 'an adult' and more like a 'former fetus.'
When you first saw 'The Truman Show,' did anyone else walk around for the next week not picking your nose just in case?
The consummate gentleman on the planet today is George Clooney, who never fails to go the extra mile for people. Every person matters to George.
I like my men like I like my coffee. Silent.
I like figuring out where I need to be mentally so that I'm not thinking about the camera and that it's second nature. I want to get to a place where I can exist within the confines of what you can do with filmmaking and not have to think about it.
