I didn't ever think about being an actor. But I fell in love with it when I realized how amazing, difficult, and interesting it is.

It was only when I realized how actors have the power to move people that I decided to pursue acting as a career.

I finally realized that yeah I did want to be an actor and it wasn't out of habit, but I needed to grow up for myself and then kind of re-enter the industry with a sound understanding of what my sensibilities and my values are as a relatively formed human being.

What led me to be an actor is that I have a strange something in me that can drastically change the way I appear to the world. Growing up, I couldn't understand why people would always have different ideas of me - but because of that I became aware of how you can manipulate your own ability to change. And then I learned to make a career of it.

I still think of myself as a stage actor. When I do film and television I try to implement what I was taught to do in theatre, to try to stretch into characters that are far from myself.

It was when I was on stage that I realized that acting could be such a brilliant job.

I had no intention of being an actor. I was quite good at it. I was pretty capable at other things but never any good at anything.

I never wanted to become an actor to be famous. I just wanted to be a good actor. It served me pretty well.

It's awesome when people even notice that I'm an actor.
