Any job is wonderful.

I am just an actor, but there are these other people who are really selfless. I come from a long line of nurses in my family, and they really do a thankless job.

I think, doing a first film, at some point you get halfway through, and you wonder, 'Is this is good enough to define who I am for the coming decade?'

The good books stick around for a reason. There is a reason that we come back to them and they are so rewarding.

Once you start to try and calculate why you were cast and why you weren't, you get in trouble.

Hollywood forgets easily. I want to be fulfilled and challenged.

There's a huge expanse of this continent that so seldom gets photographed.

I realized that acting isn't necessarily what I love, but it's what I do. But I really do love filmmaking.

The more understanding we have about what's going on in our own brain will just make us more capable in our own jobs, in telling our kids we love them, and living a fulfilling life.

Seventh and eighth grade? That's the worst. I think it's the lowest point of life. All I remember is painful acne and terrible clothes. And lots of getting dumped.

I had people at Perrysburg High School in my life in Perrysburg who believed in me and told me I could do anything I wanted too, and I foolishly believed them.

For some reason, I always have an allegiance to Ohio. I had a great childhood, and to return to it is very comforting.
