Acting is just a job at the end of the day, and it's a very strange one.

When you are working on a TV show or series, you just get into the routine. You get used to getting up early. It takes a few days, but once you are up and running, you get used to going home late, and it becomes this very repetitive cycle.

My father was a television director, and I always knew I wanted to be in the industry, but I had thought my role was behind the camera as opposed to in front.

I'm an instinctive actor. I just see the part and play it. I'm more interested in what isn't said - the silences.

I love my family. We have a very rich, complicated relationship.

My parents and my older brother played. You kind of want to do what your family does. They were on the court. I'm like, 'I want to be on the court, too.'

If parents could just get their children moving around in the most simple and fun ways - jumping in leaves, dancing to pop music, throwing socks in a laundry basket - they could be sowing the seeds of great habits that could last a lifetime. It is all about turning it into a game.

I love researching, whether it's old Western documentaries or old Western country singers or John Ford Westerns, which are heavily influenced by family values, which so many of these country songs are related to.
