I don't like it when people are trying too hard. That goes for clothes, for acting, for everything. It's just not good when it seems like you're making too much of an effort. ↗

I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice. ↗

I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting. ↗

I've got actor friends who didn't get breaks, who struggle and worry about things that I'm fortunate not to have to worry about. ↗

The idea of goodies and baddies has always fascinated me, and what people consider to be a goodie or a baddie, because I've never seen any of my characters as baddies. ↗

There's something to play if there's conflict going on. Whatever that conflict is, that's where drama is; if the character is grappling with something you've got something to play, there's layers to it. ↗
