I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.

When I initially started acting, all I wanted to do was to be in one movie. That's it. That was my goal.

The big turn in the late '90s was that I realized I was going to be doing this for a long time. I was fairly sure I was going to be an actor for the rest of my life, which I think calmed me down.

When I was young, my idea was to become a filmmaker.

I didn't have any fixed goals when I joined the film industry. I don't particularly feel 'successful,' but I am grateful that my career is going well.

I went to film school at Columbia and did that for a couple years and really thought I was going to be a filmmaker, and then I kind of drifted over to the acting side after that. I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.

Then in college I became obsessed with film, and wanted to be part of that.

I was a film student. I became an actor, but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.

My goal as an actor was to work - to be a working actor, whether it was in theater, and, well, I didn't even consider film and television when I was in New York, but what came along, came along.
