“You constantly question yourself as an actor if you’re good enough or if you’re real enough or if you’re deserving of anything, and that’s a constant thing you’re doing to yourself, just kind of questioning your ability. To even be nominated was a real confidence boost in terms of thinking ‘I am doing this. I can do this.’ And then: I’ve won it. So you know, acting for twenty years and never thinking you’re good enough, then to receive something like this – I suppose it’s a real wake up call for me to be like: Believe in yourself more. Because other people do.”
