“There is an audition floating around somewhere that I did for 'Bates Motel.'”

“I did 'Prodigal Son' at Manhattan Theatre Club.”

“I've been very encouraged by the nature of the conversations that I've had and by the lack of questions that are tunnel-visioned in their understanding of sexuality and life and love.”

“When I try to appreciate something, it feels like my hands are around the moment, trying to squeeze it. It's when you really release yourself of the responsibility to be enjoying things that you actually do.”

“I wouldn't be the actor I am without New York.”

“I should become a peach brand ambassador.”

“On American sets, you work 12-, 14-, 16-hour days sometimes. All that volume over a short course of time can actually be less conducive to telling a story accurately.”

“I have experienced heartbreak but not in a classical sense.”

“I naturally have a me-against-the-world mentality, and I've been fighting it since I was 13. It's felt like it's only gotten me in lonely, angry places.”

“Ninety-eight per cent of all human communication is non-verbal.”

“I played the piano growing up and then stopped for 10 or 12 years.”
