I have a dog as well, and I'm not a vegan or anything. But I needlepoint and I have a cat, so it's not boding well.
Never get your girlfriend a pet that she didn't know she was getting.
I just really gravitate towards a nostalgia for a time when things were simpler. When beauty was more classical and glamorous.
A friend of mine is in a long-distance relationship. They have dates on Skype. They'll both watch the same movie and...play.
Ideal date is doing something new, either hiking a new place I've not been, or learning something weird and new like pottery.... and then a meal.
I always wanted an older brother. That was my thing. My mom would be like, "What do you want for your birthday?" I'd be like, "I want an older brother."
I'm an actor, so I love to be degraded!
I loved getting to investigate the grey areas of morality.
When I read the scripts, I'm always so excited to see what's going to happen because it's unpredictable.
Life can be very funny and very tragic. Everyone has stuff that they've been through that makes up whatever fire it is that they have in their gut, but nobody goes around wearing that as their outmost exterior, all the time.
A lot of people would wear anger, depression or aggravation as their first layer, and they don't. They very much understand what's really important in life.
I never walk into the studio and say, I'm going to write a song called... 'X' or called 'Slow Me Down.' I write a ton of lyrics, often the title is somewhere in those 10 pages of... I call it brain vomit. It's kind of like whatever comes out of my head and I'm unabashedly just writing it down.
I started working when I was seven and I was working for five dollars a night at the Met.
There's something safe about playing a character, but then it's like, 'Who am I underneath it all?'
