I think being very thin has had a lot to do with how I've been cast.

Keats himself spoke about how Shakespeare was capable of erasing himself completely from the characters he had created. As an actor, that is what I'm trying to do.

My intuition comes up with better stuff than my head, I think.

I respect those who openly advocate for unlimited immigration to the United States. Open borders is an intellectually coherent, defensible position.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
