I was very resistant to my intellectualism for a while. I do start with an intellectual idea for a character. A lot of the times, it'll be the opposite of what I feel like is on the page, or it'll be just an idea that I read in a psychology textbook or in a philosophy book. I'll apply something to it that I can start to tinker with.

I'm terrified of the ocean. I think it's beautiful and magical, but I never go in. That deep, dark water, with no understanding of what goes on behind it - I think that's a metaphor for a lot of things.

I really like big swashbuckling superhero films, but I feel like that Marvel universe is not adult enough.

People who are deep thinkers, who have sort of a weird way of looking at the universe, are wildly attractive to me.

I've done shows where I was the lead, but maybe it wasn't quite right - I took them because I wanted to move my career on.

I want you to tell me how bad I suck and how I'm going to get knocked out and how I've been lucky my whole career. That's fine. All day.

I am a freelance artiste.

I want longevity in this career.
