I got into theater at an early age.

I've been mostly influenced by experiences in the theater growing up.

I grew up in a very small town and didn't realise till later that I had an adventurous side. When I went to theatre school at 18, I came into my own and let loose.

Growing up, I didn't feel cool; I didn't fit into any crowd.

While I was growing up all over, in all my different schools, I was always doing theater, auditioning for plays.

To be honest, I was never really interested in theatre as a kid.

I sort of grew up doing theater. And that's how I got into film, actually.

I grew up listening to music and going to the theatre.

Before discovering theater, I was sloughing off and didn't have any passion for school. Then I couldn't get enough. All of a sudden, I was getting good parts in all of these plays. I just loved it. I started getting A's in acting, directing and technical theater. I found something that clicked.

I don't know if I was so much of an outsider until after I started doing films. That put me on the outside. I grew up in Texas, and I wasn't the child of industry parents, and I didn't have a lot of friends in the industry or anything like that.
