When it comes to a love story, you're like, 'I've been in love before.' So it's closer to you than the other stuff, and for me, that can be less comfortable. ”

House of a Thousand Corpses' by Rob Zombie - I love that movie. I really do. ”

I'm zero to a hundred in almost every facet of my life. ”

I am constantly interested in people who society calls 'bad' because I don't like to just buy into something that everybody's going to say. I want to investigate that for myself. With a character, you get to fully investigate that emotionally and understand the parts of them that are in pain and scared and are good. That's human. ”

My family has artists, but they are all working artists. They are not movie stars. They don't get paid. I really respect that blue-collared ideology where they're just trying to make a living. ”

The hardest thing is for me to let the work go and let myself just live. Every actor is different; they each have their own strengths and weaknesses; trust and ease are mine. ”

The old joke in my family is that the last person who isn't from New York was coming from Russia. ”

I'm a fourth-generation New Yorker. My family has been in New York for many, many years. ”

I come from an intense family - like, we're just intense people. Not bad people or anything, we are just very intense, and I have just always felt like people who weren't like that were just a kind of hiding it, like when I was really young in high school. ”

It's not like every actor needs to train, but an actor will either develop their process through training or through working. ”
