My mum is a bit unconventional; she's outdoorsy and has more of an emotional intelligence, whereas my dad is pragmatic; he's a businessman.

Acting is an aesthetic career, which is annoying.

I'm trying to cultivate a long-term career rather than get every job right this minute. That'd be putting too much pressure on myself. I'd go crazy if I thought like that.

At 11, I got my first job in a mini-series for America, and it was very exciting.

I always wanted to go to the Chavez school but I could never afford it when I was growing up so a lot of my learning came from magic books and watching other magicians. I was also very lucky that I had a couple of really good magic teachers.

I've always thought stability was suffocating and deadly. Like, when I read that the kids I went to law school with have stayed at the same firm, I feel like I'm reading an obituary. How much money do you need? Six million, seven million? Put that in the bank and do something else. Get out!

There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech.

I started re-reading 'Harry Potter' just to throw myself back into my childhood. I forgot how awesome the books are.
