We were wanting and striving, and that is hard and takes a lot of effort and also a lot of doggedness to keep at it. And I think sometimes that looks desperate or ungainly or… But we were working. And I think it's really inspiring to see the way that he's held on to that work ethic, even though he has now such great success and so many accolades.

He's still working, like banging on that door, just like when we were young. And I really admire that.

Well, something that happened to me when I was making that show is that I met Mary Beth Peel, who played my Grams. And Mary Beth Peel is an esteemed, beloved New York stage actress. And she showed me plays. And then I started going up to New York City. I would get in my car in North Carolina and I would drive 12 hours for the weekend. By yourself? By myself.

I would go see a movie and a play and walk this little stretch of 6th Avenue and then I would get in my car and drive 12 hours home. And what I started seeing when I got to New York City were ideas of things that I would like to be a part of. And then I had this woman come And Mary Beth, who was encouraging me and saying that I should try and that she thought that I could.

And that was at a time when nobody had ever said anything like that to me before, that I could be in movies or I could be in plays or I could make things that mattered to me. I had come from a very different environment. I'd been working on and off as an actor in Los Angeles. I'd been working since I was 12.

I was emancipated at 15 and living on my own for about, I don't know, half a year or something before I got Dawson's Creek. And so I was coming from... Los Angeles and this sort of idea of, you know, if you can get a national commercial, it'll last you a year. And that's what I wanted for myself. If you could get on a TV show, you could support yourself. And that's what I wanted for myself.

And then I went to New York City and I thought I was introduced to this whole other expression of the medium that I'd never been exposed to. I think growing up, I'd just seen The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins and things like that. I didn't really know what was possible. And then I started to make New York City home.
