You're always going to have to prove yourself, because acting is such a capricious game.

I had never done any serious acting before, but I decided that it was a chance that I should take.

I have to prove myself in a lot of ways - as an actor, as a person, as someone who can handle pressure.

For lack of any clearer idea, I just started acting one day. It had been in the back of my head for a while, but I think in some ways I was afraid to do it, and finally I just stepped up.

I love acting, and it was really important to me to give it a real shot.

So anyway, I've learned a lot about myself just in terms of acting but just work ethic and interesting things like full-page monologues or talking straight into camera, which I had never gotten to do before.

I know very little about acting. I'm just an incredibly gifted faker.

I had to study acting to basically educate myself.

I've only half-admitted I'm a professional. I know I am, I've paid my dues, but one of the things I could do better when I'm acting is to really be rigorous and to think I know how to do it. To use my brain.
