When you move beyond your fear, you feel free.
Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people.

You start out with big dreams and I mean, big dreams artistically. You want to work with the greatest living directors, make a great movie.

Those big expectations change to realism pretty quickly. But what's never changed is my desire to work with great directors and to find projects that push me out of my comfort zone and keep me alive. I still don't think I've done my best work
