Life flies by, and it's easy to get lost in the blur. In adolescence, it's 'How do I fit in?' In your 20s, it's 'What do I want to do?' In your 30s, 'Is this what I'm meant to do?' I think the trick is living the questions. Not worrying so much about what's ahead but rather sitting in the grey area - being OK with where you are.
The first audition I went out on was because my father was on an audition for a TV show called the 'Gilmore Girls,' and that kind of snowballed a lot of stuff in my life.
Just lead your life and try to make the best decisions.
The more you are positive and say, 'I want to have a good life,' the more you build that reality for yourself by creating the life that you want.
There have been, like, three auditions in my life where I feel like I'm in a 'Saturday Night Live' skit.
For me, work is one thing, and my life is another.
I'm always surprised reading my old journals. There's this idea that life is hard now, but then I'll reach that moment where it'll change. But there's no summit. It's a constant climb.
The more you are positive and say, I want to have a good life, the more you build that reality for yourself by creating the life that you want.
At the end of the day, you have a job to do, and if you don't do your job, you're going to get fired. You just have to kind of put your head down and do it.
I usually just end up at home on my couch - reading.
Film is just a different version of what we did round the campfire when we were Neanderthals. We tell stories so people can learn things and relativise things.
The authentic experience, where is that? Living the moment. That is something that we're losing.
A lot of tragedy can befall us, but there's always something else; there's always hope.
I really like the ritual of shaving. I like getting the perfect brush and finding the right sandalwood soap. The act of shaving, though, is not fun. I like beards and the ease of them.
