A month before graduation I got an off-Broadway job. Then I did some commercials, including one for MCI. You can only see half of me, but it paid well. Thank God for commercials.
I’m a pretty gentle person so I don’t really have much of a thing of being a badass.
With TV, you have so much to get done during the day that you don’t really have a lot of time to feel your way through it. I know before I walk on the set exactly what I’m going to do. With film you can kind of find your way in it a little more, play with it some.
I was that ‘awkward-didn’t-understand-his body-kind of-uncomfortable teen.’
I picked up reading late because I grew up dyslexic. When I went to college, a friend who was a big reader got me started on a number of writers, including Hemingway.
I find that the best way into things is to open my heart up to it and allow it to be as truthful and honest as I can be, and I can make it. It’s hard to do that; it’s hard to open yourself up to something.
I dream about having a house by the water and not doing anything, not feeling ambitious, nor having the need to make money.
I don’t really get recognized.
I grew up in a house with dogs. We always had dogs. We always had a bunch of dogs, actually.
I tried surfing once in Brazil, but I’m kind of clumsy.
I love that you work out relationships with people as you’re filming just to get something real to play on screen.
I’d forgotten it’s an important thing to give thought to your morality and how you intend to live your life.
I never get to wear a suit in my life, much less a tuxedo. It’s kind of really fun to get to dress up, because you take yourself a little more seriously if you dress nice in a starched shirt.
I should probably never describe myself as adorable.
