Quotes

• "Perseverance, following your instinct, chasing your vision quest, not ever giving up on your dreams and remembering where you came from. Strength, happiness, and fighting for something you believe in."
• "I always loved the idea of zoning out and pretending to be someone else. A perfect escape. It started with impressions for my mom and dad and grandparents when I was a kid...lucky me, I get to make my living doing it!"
• "In the middle of a scene opposite Russell Crowe in my first movie. I remember the director yelling cut, and feeling like I truly belonged there, looking at the small sea of people standing around the camera grinning like something really cool and special just went down. I knew then that I would be doing film for the rest of my life."
• It's always an honor to get to play with people who have been at it longer than you, who have been honing their skills...I take notes.
• "Yeah, but 6-foot-6 me at 18, you saw a big head and this stringbean body, these massive hands and these massive feet, just trying to keep it all moving in one direction. And if I got out into the wind, I was in trouble. That's probably part of why I got a little bit obsessive."
