No actor wants to choose - they just want all of the options available to them all the time; we tend to be pretty greedy.
The main fun of being an actor is that you get to bounce around to a lot of different worlds.
The more attention you give to your negative feelings, the more they grow, so I think things just start to blow totally out of proportion.
A lot of people I went to college with felt like they wanted to pursue theater exclusively, so I don't think that I really was in competition with people that I went to school with.
I think when you have some success as a kid, your notion of being a good actor is pleasing the director, doing exactly what they tell you to do.
It is important to stop being critical and judging ideas as good or bad because I think if somebody doesn't have a lot of experience you worry their idea is going to be bad, it's not going to be good enough, if not going to be active enough and so you can start to think critically about people's suggestions or what they bring to it but once you get out of that and think whatever they come up with is the right thing right now and so I'm just going to build on it just makes everything so much easier and better.
I'm a very law-abiding citizen, and I've never consciously broken any law. I get nervous just jaywalking in Los Angeles!
I have a hard time watching people getting punched on screen; I have to close my eyes a lot.
As you become an adult and start to make your way in life, you realize how much your friends are your family - though you get to make fun of your friends, too.
I love discovering new young brands and watching these fashion lines take off, like Peter Pilotto, Christopher Kane, and Clover Canyon.
We're all alone in this world.
I very rarely listen to music in my car - a lot of people make fun of me for it. But sometimes I listen to music on YouTube. I'm like a teenager.
Some girls say they don't feel comfortable in flats, they only feel comfortable in heels; I am not one of those girls.
We're all slight hypocrites who fall short of our ideals.
