जीवनी

I try not to read acting books any more, but they set a high bar for me very early on.

I saw a production of 'The Seagull' at Dallas Theatre Center when I was in high school, and it really did a number on me.

Juilliard. It was a brutal and beautiful experience.

I loved the idea that acting was something you could develop into slowly; something you could study.

Gosh, for me, when I was 15 or 16 years old, I was just starting to understand ideas and film and things like that. And then, you go see a movie like 'The Matrix' that absolutely blows your mind. It's not just trying to entertain you, but it's also trying to explore something about human nature and ask some really deep questions.
