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.

When I emerged from drama school, I had no expectation that I would ever work in film.

I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.

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

I did my first film when I was in the final year of my graduation. At that time, I was still a kid, and I couldn't read the industry very 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.

I was really into films when I was younger, but I feel like a bit of a phony sometimes - I started acting because I didn't know what else to do. I filled in all these university application forms and honestly didn't want to do any of the courses.

I used to sit in school and dream about getting into films.

I feel like a lot of my past career was going to film school, making a lot of different kinds of movies. I made a bunch of comedies, I made one drama and I made a couple musicals.
