One of the ways I learned how to act, really, is by having secrets and having to function as a kid in a public school in suburban Bible Belt Texas.
-
I came from a long line of football players.

I'm a kid that went to theater school. I thought I was going to be making my living doing plays regionally or in New York or on Broadway, and maybe if I got lucky I would do a movie here or there.
-
I'm so grateful to be born in the times I live in and to be provided the opportunities I've been given. I'd be wrong to complain.

I see what kids in the business have to watch. It's tough to do.

I think you work on the roles that draw you in and the stories you want to tell.

I like to just work with great directors.

We didn't get to see a lot of movies in my house growing up, so the first time I got to go to the movies - I think it was 'E.T.' - I was like, 'Oh my God, somebody else gets my imagination!'

I want to work with anyone who's passionate about telling a story. I obviously have a list of people I really love, but it's a really long list.

Making a great television show is hard enough. To also tackle F. Scott - whoa.
