“Right now, my focus is really acting and directing. But I see the creativity and the work that goes into building a network, and it's fascinating to me. If those doors open for me... I think just learning as much as I can at this point is really what it's about.”

“My career after 'Life Unexpected' took a really big dip, and I realized you have no control as an actor over the process of going to work.”

“It's hard to get material. I haven't made a movie before. I have two episodes of television that I think have come in really great, but it's really hard to get directing work.”

“A lot of great creativity comes from restrictions.”

“I remember my parents showing me films that I was too young to see, like 'The Graduate,' 'Silkwood,' and 'Anchorman,' which I think I saw when I was 11. I was so fascinated by every element of the filmmaking process, whether it be the visuals or the score, and wanted to be in the pot of that creativity.”

“When it comes to creativity and to leadership, we need introverts doing what they do best.”
