We [with neal dodson and corey moosa] wanted to draw people in with a dialogue - whether it's a creative process or a social issue or innovation of some kind; whether it was how we told the stories or what stories we told. we produced some online videos.
We're living in an increasingly nationalistic, xenophobic time, and you can see it reflected in societies all over the world.
I went away to this summer program after my junior year of high school. they used to have this thing called the governor's school, and they had it for different disciplines - science, math, performing arts. i auditioned and i got accepted, and it was an eight-week program away from home. i went for acting. i was 15, and i turned 16 while i was there, so that was a seminal moment for me. it made me realize the life of it, the discipline of it, and the joy of that discipline, where it was all we did.
There was no other concern; there was no other focus [in the governor's school]. it was simply there to learn and grow and perform, and that was pretty amazing and informative. i'd say that was a big pivotal moment for me.
I came back and decided that i wanted to go to college for acting and got my family on board. my mom, who was a single mom, was a little reticent, but i think after that summer [in the governor's school], she saw a shift in me and realized that it was something i wanted more than just a hobby.
Honestly, people told me to. it was weird, i graduated from school, i never thought i'd live in l.a. and i always wanted to be to new york. i assumed that would be my trajectory - that romantic ideal of moving there and doing plays off-broadway and being scrappy about it. then we did a showcase in new york and a showcase in l.a., and for whatever reason the response that i generated in l.a. was significantly more enthusiastic.
We did monologues and scenes, and new york i did a scene from amadeus and a monologue from pounding nails in the floor with my forehead by eric bogosian, and then in l.a. i switched the scene to this is our youth and did the same monologue. i was spiky-haired, super skinny. a lot of people were like, "you should come here and do a sitcom." that was the feedback that i got. obviously it was quite a different journey than the one i've actually had, but i just listened to people.
Who's to say what would have happened if i had trusted my instincts and moved to new york like i thought i would.
When i got out of school, it used to be that it was theater actors that ended up doing film and television, and you had to come from the theater to be taken seriously in that world.
I think somewhere in the '90s, it started to shift, and you started to see a lot of film and television actors doing theater, and producers using the notoriety of the film and television actors to sell tickets.
My return to the theater in new york was so specific. i didn't want it to be about leveraging my exposure or my fame, so the first show i did in new york was an ensemble piece at an off-broadway theater, and i wanted to make sure that it was just about the play and about the experience.
The play i did on broadway a couple of seasons ago started out of town and it moved its way into new york because of the experience that we had out of town.
