Animals are the best actors. They never lie, they're always present, and they listen. That's a lot more than a lot of actors can say for themselves.
With film, you read the whole script three or four times, and you really have a solid blueprint of who your character is. Whereas in television, that blueprint is constantly changing and adapting, and sometimes you have to take a risk.
I think that the reason why 'Goats' is called 'Goats' is because you can't give direction to goats. They do what they want. That's the point of this film.
I really respect people who, while they only do films, they have a wide repertoire and a wide thematic array of films they do.
I don't know where my career is going to lead me. I would like my career to be as diverse as possible. I've done theater and I've done music, and I would love to keep that in my life.
Sometimes you have to do a role that might not be the most interesting, but it will set you up for doing roles that you want to do.
My character on 'The Good Wife' is a smaller character, and his story arcs are typically season-long, unless it's a big episode for him. His transitions take place over many, many hours.
The only reason why you should do a film is because it creatively carbonates you and gets you going. If you're doing it for any other reason, you've lost sight of why you're acting, in the first place.
Eventually I'd love to be able to direct.
The caliber of actors I'm getting to work with and learn from on a daily basis is phenomenal for me as a developing actor.
My parents walked in on me Googling 'agents for kids' when I was 9.
