I Remember Zachary Quinto Were Just About

I Only Auditioned At Four Schools. I Started Performing And Studying When I Was In Middle School, And Then As I Got Into High School, It Just Got More Serious. I Feel Like It Became More Of A Vocation. It Became Clear To Me At That Point That I Wanted To Pursue It.

Maybe It's Because It's Connected To My Childhood, Or It's Connected To The Origins Of What Drove Me Creatively, But I Feel Like My Life Never Makes More Sense Than When I'm In That Process.

I Had To Learn How To Modulate My Performances And Interpretations Of These Roles In Auditions For The Camera.

I Met Glenn [ Greenwald] Briefly In 2009. We Were Both Guests On Real Time With Bill Maher. I Was The Show's Guest And He Was On The Panel. But This Was Before The Snowden Stuff Happened. I Didn't Have The Opportunity To Meet Him In Preparation For The Movie, Unfortunately, For Various Reasons. But I Was Able To Dive Into The Main Articles He's Written, And Interviews With Him, And Just The Function That The Character Serves In The Movie, That Was Enough For Me.

I Would Say Auditioning Was My Real Training Ground. The Technical Aspects - Like Hitting Marks And Pacing Yourself And Preparing And Dealing With The Downtime - The First Recurring Role I Had On 24 Was Probably The Way I Learned That Stuff.
