"You know you're doing ok when you keep getting called back to those casting offices."
"You just need someone to give you a break, you know, for something a little bigger"
"It's important not to be [cynical]."
"I put myself in a position where it's like...If I don't make it doing this, I don't know what I'm going to do with my life."
"You plateau but it's almost like you're just taking a breather or learning just enough for the next step"
"I have a really good support group when it comes to my friends. Most of my friends are working actors and they're successful in the sense that they make a good living some of them a really good living doing that. But they're all very humble. The ones that are my close friends are humble people. So, it just keeps it real. [...] The reality is my friends and I we're going to auditions and then we're getting together and having a beer afterwards."
