I am the black sheep of my family. They are all super talented and intelligent and got proper jobs. Most of my family is in medicine, actually. They are all too clever to be doing what I do.
I think it reaffirmed something that I believed in and conceptually always had faith in which was that you're most effective when you work as a team. I love that about filmmaking. I stopped playing team sports at 15-16 because of acting. I think I find a kind of new team sport in filmmaking in a way.
I feel really blessed that I found what I love doing and was able to make it a living from such a young age. I realize that I'm really fortunate. I didn't train; I kind of got lucky. And I remember that every day. I think I have to remind myself of that to really, fully appreciate life now.
I'll just say it: I'm not the sharpest tool in the box. Being forced to go back to school is still a fear of mine.
I come from this bubble in life - I come from a great family and went to a nice school, and I have friends, and life is pretty rosy.
The thing I get a lot is, 'You've got a very recognisable face.' I'm never quite sure what to make of it.
