If you're an actor, there's going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today.

Growing up with my dad, whenever I wanted to try something, he would let me try it but he wouldn't let me give up on it. If soccer was too tough and I said, 'I'm going to quit,' he'd be like, 'No, you're going to try everything and keep going at it.'
