family forcing supportive watch work
I have a really supportive family, which is really wonderful, but I'm not forcing everyone to watch my work every week.
art family fine
I got a BFA in Fine Art, and then I told my family I was going to be an actress.
alive fully love means satisfying since time
I love being on stage. There's nothing better than that feeling; ever since the first time I was on stage, I was like, 'Oh, this is what it means to be fully alive and satisfied.' I don't think anything's as satisfying as a play.
anyone attached since
I had wanted to act since I was a kid, but I had a lot of shame attached to it. I didn't tell anyone because I didn't think it was ever a possibility.
attention good kid shy taking
I was really shy when I was a child, very self-conscious about taking up space or being an attention seeker. I was the kind of kid who was really good at homework.
music musician
I sometimes listen to music to get into some place that I need to get. I don't think it's because I have a musician as a father that I do this - most actors do.
carol pinch
I had to pinch myself a couple of times that I was actually on stage at the Atlantic with Carol Kane.
admit
In the beginning, I was actually embarrassed to admit that I wanted to be an actor.
I'm English, and my favorite movie is 'Manhattan.'
beautiful thinking littles
I think making movies and being in theater and TV, there's this beautiful little family. It's so intense that you form these little families, and that's what I loved.
acting pitching groups
On student films, everyone is pitching in to do everything, and I never felt like I was a part of a group before I started acting. I always felt like I had friends in this group and I had friends in that group, but I never felt like I had my group.
thinking artist people
I want to keep acting and I want to keep working with high quality artists. I might be a bit spoiled because they're so good at what they do. I think the only way you learn is to surround yourself with people that are better than you.
thinking differences dating
I think the whole concept of dating is deeply flawed, so maybe it's a good thing to be undateable. There's a difference between being unlovable and undateable.
sweet successful intimate-relationships
I feel like a lot of people are very career-driven and there's pressure to be successful. You put off relationships. You put off those intimate relationships because you're just work-driven. It's a very sweet term, undateable.
