My education was a huge influence. I trained at the Lee Strasberg Institute at Tisch, which is a huge foundation for young actors. They teach you their methods, and give you the sense that acting is much more tangible than most people think. I think there's a mysticism of what acting is, in the fact that it's this ungraspable, spur-of-the-moment thing that nobody can understand.
I'd love to continue to produce movies. My number one passion is acting, but I also think there's something so special in being able to support a script and an idea, and take it all the way through to fruition. I think that process is so rewarding.
I remember Robin [Williams] walked up to me after the last take and said, "Thanks boss! We nailed it!" That will probably be one of the best moments of my life.
There is a saying that every single person in the world has something to teach you. So the more people I get to work with, the more I can learn and the better actor I will become.
