“For being such a dark city, 'Gotham,' it's a really, really sweet group of people, very welcoming.”

“I think... as an actor, you never want to overspeak about something because, frankly, you want people to be excited about it but still have relatively low expectations so that people will feel better about it.”

“I came from a very conservative Catholic family.”

“I'm realizing for the first time, your life goes on while you're trying to pursue this career. I saw my career as everything. But you have this life, too. Living your life fully, you come to know yourself better. You'll find the place for it.”

“The business can be frustrating. For me, Omaha is a rounding foundation. I was raised in a very faith-filled household, very hardworking. It made me aware of what privilege is.

“I moved out after college, and I started working right away, and I've been working ever since.”

“At the end of the day, an actor has to just play what's in front of him.”

“When I was 17, I had a small part in the movie 'Election,' which shot in Omaha, Nebraska. I was really naive at the time; I really didn't know what a big deal it was.”

“I'm growing very talented at watching blood and guts on screen because I have zero emotional response.”
