Every role that you accept makes you grow in some way. It's part of the creative process.

I started doing karate at four, my parents were karatekas. I stopped when I was 17 and went to Julliard and had a lot of stage combat there.

I think Andrew Stanton is such an amazing, creative mind.

I went to a private school in Singapore and they had an incredible arts program. Every day I was doing something artistic.

I went to Julliard where they use a lot of voice and speech exercises.

I will say that Lynda Carter is an awesome woman.

I'm a trained martial artist. My parents were both martial artists.

I'm Irish and Cherokee Indian. I can't faint.

I've studied astrology for many, many years, and I feel like it's an incredibly challenging art.

In my career, I've really wanted to sort of be a morpher and not show my own identity.

The way that I work is very specific, very thorough, and the process has to be totally clear.

They're really competitive at drama in Texas.

From the beginning of time, we've told stories, Shamans and Medicine People, and not to be pompous about it, but I feel like that is the lineage I take down and where I come from. There is magic to storytelling.

I can't really connect with things unless they are spiritual in nature, so I have to make acting spiritual for myself, and each role a spiritual journey for me.

I feel like part of your job as an actor is you're going to get noticed, and the more successful you get, the more noticed you are. It's kind of like a Catch-22.

My family are very, very religious in Texas. They're Southern Baptists. I left to go to New York when I was 17 and I realised I wasn't Southern Baptist. That's not how I am inclined.

The truth for me is that I've been doing independent film since the get-go, so that's a big passion of mine, but the big ones are really fun, too. I like my world to be eclectic.

What I do is very spiritual to me. I can't really connect with things unless they are spiritual in nature, so I have to make acting spiritual for myself, and each role a spiritual journey for me.
