Actors look at life in a different way. When I meet people, I know that one day I may portray that person or someone like them. It may be a cop or a homeless guy. It helps you to pay more attention to people. Everyone I meet, I retain something from them, something from their personality. It helps me to portray realism in my work.

I don’t really like hospitals that much. People are sick; sometimes it can be depressing. There’s people going through a lot of pain in there. It has that funny smell.
