जीवनी

I don't know about everyone else, but I really loved lunch and recess because it was an opportunity to get carried away with your imagination.

I do paint, and I wanted to actually be a painter. Sometimes I'll whip out paints. It's tough to find the motivation, but it's also a solitary, lonely occupation. What I like about acting is that it is such a collaborative thing.

I shared a room with my parents until I was seven, and I lived with my uncles and aunts and my cousins and my grandfather . . . so the house was always full of people.

I like to act. I guess letting what you love be what you do is key. I've worked very hard for that to be the case, probably because I'm very lazy and I only want to do things that are fun and I run away from anything that feels like work . . . Acting for me is like lunch at school--you're just in a playground where you get to pretend and play.

As a person, when I was seven or eight, my dad would try very hard to tutor me through school because I had learning difficulties or whatever. I would wish that they could just plant a chip in my brain so that I would know everything and not have to study.
