Every time I work, it's an educational process because I learn by watching other actors. My career is always going to be an ongoing study.

You spend a lot of time studying, and you want to do something with that. Something that's tangible, like creating a show, writing a screenplay, making a difference.

As an actor, your life experience is just as important as studying.

The best way to study to be an actor is to interact genuinely with the people around you and observe and listen.

I had to study acting to basically educate myself.

My ambition is to get better as an actor.

You make the money in movies and TV so you can do theater. I do a play a year... somewhere.

By the time I entered high school, I had forsaken academics altogether in favor of my burgeoning acting career.

You know, back in acting school they always teach you, 'Make bold choices and look for activities that are interesting.'

I have very simple ambitions. If I can just not be boring, I'm ahead of the game. It's hard in television. I think you get enormous reward from the audience. Just give them something they didn't see coming, and you get enormous points.
