I've always loved film and wanted to work in film. I just love working and creating new characters, and trying different genres and different things.

I liked to explore different arts. But when I started acting, I knew this was the medium I want to be in for the rest of my life. Stories onscreen affect me the most.

I like the idea of working in different genres and transcending genres and hopefully finding success, and ultimately make movies people like.

I started as a journalist for magazines in New York City, so it was always storytelling. And moving into movies was a natural transition.

I loved movies. They inspired me more than anything growing up and wanted to do for others what those movies have done for me. I do a lot of other creative stuff but am not very good at it.

I always gravitate towards the independent side of things, just because those are the stories I always fall in love with, but you don't really get paid, and living in Los Angeles is expensive, and I have a mortgage to pay. So it's good to jump onto a studio film and then in all my other time do small passion projects.

I'd wanted to be a writer and when I came back to New York worked as a musician too, but I found my writing starting to get more and more referential to cinema.

I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.

I was able to make many different kinds of movies. They enriched me on many different levels.

I do like to be creative and I'm very lucky that I've been given different areas in which I'm able to do that - whether it be film or television or theatre or whatever. I'm also still into music and recording.
