Actors go, 'I just want to act.' And I say to them, 'You know, stop for a second and think about what charges you up the most.

There are always things that I'd love to do. As an actor, none of them are specific; all I'm looking for are things that are good quality, that are challenging for me to work on, and even better if I get to work with people that I respect and am excited to work with.
