I had two ambitions: One was to be in The Actors Studio, and the other was to walk into a bar where actors hung out, and everyone would know that I was a professional actor and I would be accepted.
There's a very small group of elite actresses who are my age, who people want to work with. It's not easy to get a good job with good actors.
I'm a working actor, and I'm really appreciative to be a working actor, but it's another level when you're a working actor with the likes of Sarah Paulson and Angela Bassett.
I'm very much a jobbing actor who's still trying to find a place to rent down the road.
As an actor, I'm always just so pumped when I get any job. To be a working actor takes a lot of luck.
Second only to a viable approach to acting, the most important thing an actor can find is a creative family. To have a solid core group of people that you take that journey with together is invaluable.
As a young actor, I was working much more readily and being offered more things.
I'm a working actor, and I want to stay a working actor, and I want everybody happy.
I've been auditioning since I'm nine years old. Honestly, most of my friends I've met in audition rooms because you're always auditioning.
All my life, I struggled to get roles.
Any actor who tells you that he makes choices, absolutely, is wrong. You find work and work finds you.
Most actors feel only one way. We're just grateful to have a job.
When I moved to Mumbai I had no acting background and so was unable to make a breakthrough for years.
There's just a big group of actors in London. There are new ones coming in all the time, who are looking for work, and established actors who are interested in working and like to work. To be a working actor in England is a life.
I didn't go to drama school, so I didn't really have many true friends in the business; 'Game Of Thrones' has definitely brought me that.
I don't want to just be another actor in L.A. looking for a job.
I have worked with the biggest actors from the beginning. I am hoping God will bless me to work with other big actors.
The caliber of actors I'm getting to work with and learn from on a daily basis is phenomenal for me as a developing actor.
People imagine that actors are being offered everything and you are not. So things come in and sometimes there are things that I want and can't get a meeting on, or go to a different actors.
