I was a literature major in college and that was my thing, books.
I saw leaving college as an opportunity to do something different with my life. I always thought that becoming an academic was going to be my path.
I conducted a bunch of interviews for Interview magazine. They actually paid me. I think I was probably 18 or 19. I was in college and I remember feeling, like, "Wow." I had a real job, and they paid me money, and it was exciting.
I did a couple of plays in junior high school, maybe high school, and then I did a play in college.
I made, like, five movies while I was in college. I think they just weren't memorable movies. I've taken breaks as the years have gone on - I burn out every once in a while.
When I think about what part of my college experience came back in my work experience, I feel like it was learning how to read deeper, learning how to keep filling the movie up with more and more resonance.
