Film Has Always Been Where My Heart

I'm Incredibly Close To My Family. I Have Two Younger Brothers, They're Both Artists And Actors; And Their Work And The Way They See The World Inspires Me. We've Been Making Films Together Since We Were Kids, In Our Backyard.

I Love Performing. I Love Doing Improv. It's A Totally Terrifying Experience, But It's Something That I've Always Felt So Strongly About And That I'm Kind Of Obsessed With. And Just As An Actor, It's A Great Exercise. It's A Great Playground, You Know, To Try Things Out And To Work On Your Skills. Because The Mandate Of Improv Is Kind Of The Same As Acting: It's All About Your Scene Partner, It's All About Being Present And In The Moment And Exploring Together As A Team, A Collaboration.

I Think The Fact That My Parents Are Still, "hey, Great, That's Great!" And Not, "we Need You To Do This And Be A Star!" - It Was Never Like That. My Mom's A Translator, My Dad's A Woodworker; That's The World I Grew Up In, That's The World I'm Most Comfortable In. The Whole Idea Of Hollywood Or Any Of That Other Stuff That Unfortunately Goes Along With Film, That Wasn't Part Of My Upbringing, Thankfully.

The Most Bizarre Demographics Come Up To Me. Men In Their 50s Come Up To Me And Are Like, "alison Is My Favorite. I Hated Her At First, And Now I Love Her." I Don't Know What That Says About People's Psychology.

I Think The Sci-fi World Allows For Exploration Of That That Isn't On The Nose And That Isn't Preachy, But It's Kind Of Artful And Explores It Differently. I Think There's More Imagination In Sci-fi. There's More Chance To Kind Of Explore Perspective And Not Have It So Grounded In This World That We Live In, Which Is So Stuck In A Patriarchal Kind Of System.
