To be ENGLISH and long secretly for PRINCE Philip's heyday is, at least PARTLY, to be wistful for a fairer, more meritocratic land where jobs were for LIFE and social mobility was REAL.

My focus is to GROW, have fun, and work with people who INSPIRE me, like Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I'm very GRATEFUL to all the PEOPLE of Fresno, to Philip Levine and all the POETS before me, and all the farmworkers. I didn't GET here by myself.

I think every actor has their list of ROLES that were NEAR misses. I've had my SHARE. I was very CLOSE and almost cast in Philip Seymour Hoffman's 'Capote.'
