“i had a delusional dream in my early teenage years to have, in my late teenage years, an acting career. and in my late teenage years, working on homeland and starting to do theater in new york, i felt like i reduced my goal to something more realistic, which was to work in theater and hopefully make enough money doing either a tv show or something i could sustain myself [with]. and then it felt like every dream came true, exponentially. and then life is moving at six million miles per hour.”
