“I think the goal always was to just work, and work with people I admire.”

“Don’t work with everybody. Don’t take any job. Go for the people that you like their work and try to work with them, especially when you’re young and impressionable.”

“You act twice. Act to be confident, and then act for the audition.”

“The gratitude is everything.”

“So much of it is luck, and I know some people hate using that word when it comes to acting and jobs, but there are so many of us that I just don’t see how being at the right place, at the right time, how that does not come into play.”
