- [on playing Nathaniel in 'Waterside'] Here is a man fallen from grace, but doing it gracefully. He has a messiah complex. His intentions are for the greater good, but ultimately his questionable pursuits for his version of a utopia inevitably led to his worst nightmare. That was a thrill for me to study.
- [on his name] I don't have the most exotic name, not for an actor anyway. Other people in the industry share it, so I included my middle names to at least give it some weight.
- [on acting] I guess I have an affection for acting more so for the time spent exploring another life, and the pleasure of filmmaking, than I do for anything else that may come with it. I've never been a fan of the promotional stuff. It comes with the territory. So that can't really be helped. I learn to enjoy it if it helps put the word out. But it's really nothing to do with me.
- [on social media] It's a blessing and a curse. For actors especially. We're only human of course, and we're social creatures naturally. It's alluring and scary. It can be brilliant for actors, for a time. I'm aware of its benefits in giving people a platform. But it shouldn't be a gateway into our lives.
- [In a 2022 interview regarding 'Method Acting'] It's a very misunderstood technique, but I don't think it needs to be mystified in any way. Although I do understand as to why people may apply some fantasy to it. It's a very alluring way of doing things. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. It needs to work for you, and you need to feel it in your gut as to why it does.
- [on acting] I've taken on roles that I've probably never understood fully. But that's the joy. That's where the questions are. The intention to understand them to a satisfactory degree was there. But that's life. We're still figuring ourselves out, and so are the characters that we set out to explore, if but for a brief time. It's an ongoing study.
- [In a 2022 interview for Indie Activity] I want to give 100%. As much energy as humanly possible anyway. I have come out of projects exhausted, but often always satisfied. But I wouldn't give more than you already can. It can be tiring, but you must know your limits and never put your health at risk. It's a collaborative effort also, so it's also great if you can work with those in whom you can trust and put your faith into, and vice versa.
- [on projects] I think for a time early on, I would explore whatever came my way at times. The odd thing here and there. Finding my feet. For better or worse. But over the course of that exploration, you begin to develop particular curiosities and desires for certain work. It depresses me greatly when other people decide for you on what you should be doing.
- [on projects] I've come to find it heart-breaking when a project is treated as 'just another job'. It's not just another credit for me. That may work early on, sadly, and that's fine, but there comes a time when the payoff has to be the sum of that work in the most satisfying way. All that commitment, all that time, all that preparation. Every project for me contributes to this lifelong study into other lives, and their stories.
- [on acting] I'm not so sure if it's a love for acting, or a love for the body of work that I feel compelled to do in order to understand the life I'm exploring. I'd rather not have an answer to that. It's not that straightforward, and nor should it be.
