I like flawed characters very much. A lot of times I get asked to do parts that are kind of small but key - three-scene roles that are three kick-ass scenes. Growing up, watching as many movies as I did, I was always into character actors like that.

Growing up, I wasn't an athlete or anything like that. The only place I felt like I belonged was in the theater.

I was an altar boy in an incredible monastery that was attached to a rectory. The theater of the church is the most incredible theater, and in this church, it was beyond. It was this huge monastery. It was landmarked. It's a beautiful building, and I kind of had the run of it.

I'm not very good in a classroom sort of setting. I never was. I was kind of a clown in high school - got suspended a lot.

One of the things I'm most proud of about my career is the fact I've managed to keep options open.

My father got to see the first 10 years of my career. He implored me to always appreciate people who are not operating under any sort of false pretense or who weren't caught up in their own success.

My career is too short for there to be any turns! But I would say that not everyone is noticed and accepted in their debut films. I was accepted both by the industry and the audience.

If I had to give one piece of advice to a budding entrepreneur, I would say: 'Aim big.'
