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.

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

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.

They’re really competitive at drama in Texas.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
