For me, art is make-believe. It's enchantment. It's a fable. I'm enjoying that and playing with it. Of course it's serious, and art is serious, but I'm not going to rarefy it.

My grandfather was a healer, and he used matches often. Once, he burnt a wart off my finger and then rubbed the ash deep into it, and it never did come back. When he worked at a factory, people would line up next to his truck to be healed. He died before he could teach us any of his secrets.

The way I grew up, everyone knew how to cook, sew... carpentry.

For me, acting is play. It's just play and it's playing make believe really, really well.

I think serious art is supposed to make us confront things that are difficult in ourselves and in the world.

What drives me is winning medals and going out there and enjoying it.
