“When I do theatre in New York, I typically only get cast in comedy.”

“There are awful things that happen, dreams get crushed, you build yourself back up again, and then there are, hopefully, incredible partners in misery that say, 'Let me help you. I've been there before.'”

“I want to make movies that I would want to watch as a fan.”

“I love film very much. It's very special to me, and seeing how it all turns out is always just a magical moment for me.”

“I did attend a convention with the production company behind 'The Woman' and 'Jug Face,' and I loved it and thought, 'I have to come back, as they are so much fun!' But those tickets are really expensive, and you're buying merchandise, and you want autographed pictures with people, so it's kind of like Disney World.”

“When you're the good guy in a horror film, you're usually suffering a lot throughout the entire thing.”

“I'm a horror movie fan; I'm an avid fan and have been since I was five years old. My father and I watched horror movies, so this is a genre that is very close and very important to me.”

“Being on a low-budget film is difficult enough, and you may as well be working on something that you really believe in and you really love, and for me, that's to play different characters, to play different roles, and challenge myself.”

“I grew up watching Sean Young films with my father; we've always been huge fans of hers. A surprising fact is that she loves to work on comedies, which was great for me to hear, because then I could ask her a million questions about 'Fatal Instinct,' which was a VHS I wore out from the video store.”

“I don't have much power to make many films, but I do have the power in what roles I choose.”

“I love comedy. Comedy is one of my favourite things to do.”

“In real life, I'm a large character, and I need the space and platform to be large.”

“I have to be vulnerable to allow myself to give the best performance I ,and that doesn't stop in between takes, and it doesn't stop when I am finished for the night.”

“You always feel pressure to do your best, and when you know that the story revolves around you, it can become very overwhelming.”

“Auditioning is a lot of fun for me.”

“It's important to always do your best work, no matter what the film is.”

“Sean Young is such a sweetheart and just absolutely lovely. From day one, she was just very easy to be around. She's definitely a 'mom' and very much a girl's girl. She likes talking about makeup and the business and just being a woman.”

“A little bit of neurosis is OK as a performer, but untethered, it can tear one apart.”

“Whenever I write, I write very dialogue-heavy things because I love to force my characters to interact with one another.”

“In elementary school, I was always writing little plays for my friends to be in. I was much more of a director than a performer.”
