I will always be the hopeless romantic, more often pathetic than heroic.
I always used to associate good directors as being ones who are totally extreme and have an answer for everything and there are no loose ends.
I remember the first time I fell in love. That rush is just overwhelming and you don't think there's ever going to be anything like it.
No one else in my family is an actor or aspires to be, and most of my friends aren't actors. Most of my friends are the people that I grew up with back in Georgia. It's really helpful to be surrounded by a world that's bigger than the entertainment industry.
I remember all the kids picking their chosen career paths and I was thinking, If I'm an actor I can be an astronaut and a policeman and a firefighter. At the time I was so young that I actually thought actors were all of those things.
I can say with great confidence that I was much more critical of the people I knew than of the people I didn't. Just because I know what they're capable of, so the bar is set so much higher for them - unfairly, frankly.
