My parents came from a poor background and worked their way up because of education. They saw it as a way to succeed. So they cared about me getting straight A grades when I was growing up.
Do you want to be an actor or do you want to be a celebrity? I made that decision when I went to Juilliard. I wanted to be an actor. So if I get the opportunity to be an actor and do some cool fun and interesting projects I'm going to do that.
