My mother's a pretty warm, open person.

That's what you want art to do, to open people up and start conversations.

My first audition was an open call and I had no picture and no resume - that's how clueless I was. I just thought I could show up.

I want to tell authentic, real stories with real characters.

At the end of the day, if I can say that I had a career where I was able to play all different kinds of characters and I'm known as someone who is well-respected for my approach to the craft, that would be a beautiful life.
