I Don't Need To Worry About That,

I Was A Shy Kid, A Late Bloomer. At 22, I Was Probably 16 Emotionally.

When I Got The Job I Thought About Her A Lot. Not Only Was I Getting A Great Job In A Really Good Movie, But It Was With Lindsay Lohan. She's So Famous And I Don't Have Any Of That, I Have Never Experienced That Kind Of Intense Scrutiny That She's Under, So Of Course I Wondered What It Would Be Like Acting Opposite Her. I Can Tell You That It's Like Being With The Beatles. You Cannot Fathom The Kind Of Attention She Gets. It's Mind Boogling.

The Great Thing About Theater Is That You Have So Much Time To Prepare, And To Fail, Before Presenting It To The Public. In Film, The High-wire Act Seems To Be That Much Farther Up, And The Net Seems To Be Less There.

We Tell Each Other Stories So We Can Understand The World Better And There's Catharsis And We Understand The Models Of What A Hero Could Be And What The Hero's Journey As A Human Being Is All About. But Unfortunately, I Think Sometimes Those Stories Too Can Be Very Prohibitive And Confining.

I Took Part In A Theatre Festival In Massachusetts Two Summers After I Graduated From College. Then I Was In Los Angeles Thinking: "i'm Going To Go To New York." I'd Decided That I Would Not Have A Chance Of A Film Career, So I Was About To Make The Move. I Bought A Plane Ticket And Found A Place To Live In New York, Packed My Bags And Of Course The Universe "told Me" That I Was Not Meant To Go. Suddenly, A Week Before I Was Supposed To Leave, I Had Three Job Offers And One Of Them Was My First Movie.
