My dad's a prominent theatre director in Toronto, so I grew up in that world, directing and producing theater since I was a teenager.

Not long after that I switched to movies and never looked back.

I've always been quite mature because of the way my parents brought me up.

I was more comfortable with adults rather than actually being an adult child.
