immature realizing sometimes
I'm pretty immature and get pretty embarrassed easily. I would check out once in a while certain shots to make sure that I felt OK because sometimes once you see it you realize it is fine.
grateful luck looks
We live in a small world, and we all are affected by everything that happens everywhere. And to look at it less selfishly, we also need to be grateful for the luck of where we're born and how we ended up where we ended up.
people trying news
I just stay away from the news and try and find people around me who are doing positive things and look to them.
men thinking balance
I do think there is a sort of natural balance in nature between men and women, and that it's being thrown off-balance by the social and economic inequities between men and women.
opportunity thinking exotic
I think the opportunities are all over the place - around your corner or in more exotic locales. But everyone finding their own interest - sometimes it's hard to know what you're interested in, I think.
character scary littles
I always find it a little scary to say that I'm like a character.
mean internet fingertips
I mean the Internet is like the luckiest thing - we have everything at our fingertips right now.
mean character thinking
I think you always need to be able to relate to your characters, but that doesn't necessarily mean...you have to understand why they do what they do, but you don't actually have to be like that yourself.
brother children brothers-and-sisters
I'm an only child. Which is kind of bad, because having a brother or sister is like another form of friendship. That's something I've missed out on, except I know that I couldn't be doing what I am doing now if I had brothers and sisters.
home sometimes
Sometimes just watching a person doing the things they would only do at home lets you know who they really are.
people interesting world
It is interesting just generationally that you see that people are much more comfortable, and that's part of life now for this next generation of actors and just people in the world. But for those of us who were living when it didn't exist, [being in social media] feels like the last thing you want to do .
mom father artist
My mom devotes so much of her time toward me. She's an artist, and my father is a doctor. I've been brought up in what you might call a pretty conventional family.
acting
Even my life's not normal because I'm acting, right?
real real-life gun
In real life I'm not the one who's playing with guns or smoking.
