Be talented enough to make it and stupid enough to keep trying.

I never wanted to lose out on an acting job and wonder if I hadn't been trained enough.

To be known by the public, honestly. People come up and tell them how good I make them feel.

When I was a kid, I wanted to walk with my dad's limp - my dad was my hero - but that infuriated him, and he would make me walk back and forth in the living room until I walked without it.

I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me.

A friend of mine had his own theater company, and he jumped me in like I was in a gang. And once I came in, it was just that simple. For the first time in my life, I felt, 'This is a career, this is a life that I think I can grow old doing.' It was love at first sight. I loved being on stage and reading these plays. It was great.
