My problem with interviews, one day I'll think one thing, and the next day I'll think the exact opposite.
I think Im extremely vulnerable and that in some ways I seek out rejection. Never feeling like youre getting that pat on the back from dad is probably at the heart of that. Im working through it, which is good. As an actor, I think that you want to keep your demons to some extent, but you also have to exorcise them so you can use them instead of them using you.
There's a lot of reasons you can think of to say why you act, but I can only say that it just felt good. At the same time, it felt really painful. It's still troubling and stressful to me.
I think when someone becomes an actor, people say, Aw, you could see it in him when he was little. But I think you can see that quality in every little kid.
I think people could justify labeling me if they saw a pattern in what I do, but right now that's impossible.
People said, That's great for your career, but what have you done? I kept feeling I had to defend myself.
The thing that impresses me is that she doesn't stand apart from the film. It all works as a whole.
I think she was much closer to the character than she thought,
Having people in the business say, You do good work, is part of it, and so is knowing that it's true in my head, that I do good work.
I guess I'm a little charmed. I never thought this would happen so quick.
She was pretty raw and technically she didn't know what was going on and that's understandable. So we sat back and laughed. We had all been there, we had all been the ones who didn't know what to do. I remember my first film was terrifying, so it was nice to sit back like I was Jack Lemmon or something.
It's become so much about personality. A lot of Hollywood, they don't work on acting, necessarily. They don't see you're gonna fall, make mistakes.
I think you have to refill the well at some point.
I was nicknamed Skeeter in Little League because I was small and fast, like a mosquito flying across the outfield.
