My process is I try to learn my lines so they're so solid I don't have to think about them or how I'm going to say them.

I'm still trying to figure out what the right line is between myself and the people I play. Sometimes I go too far one way or too far the other.

I always thought I'd eventually learn how to draw really well, and despite constant evidence to the contrary, I just kept on trying. If you're too good at anything, you don't have to think about the process, whereas I feel like I spend my life with my head under the bonnet, trying to understand how everything works.

If I know I have to memorize lines, I'm really gonna try to memorize lines. It's hard for me sometimes, because somebody wrote these words and you're trying really hard to get them the way they said it.

I used to try to write around the edges, but now I try to walk a more direct line.

I'm always practicing lines, researching, trying to be fresh, and fully trying to become the characters I play. That's how I roll.

I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them.

I'm pretty focused on my career, and if it comes down to hanging out with somebody or learning my lines, it's gonna be learning my lines.

People think memorizing lines is hard, when that's the last thing you worry about. You get that done, and then you've got to worry about the internal stuff, which is the challenging part.

It frustrates me if I'm not good at something, so I do it until I get good at it.
