If a film has a social message, it is very important for me to know what the message is and how it's going to be delivered, but it's not something I look for all the time.

To be quite honest, numbers don't tell you everything because audience reactions differ. Some of the biggest films at the box office are not necessarily films that everyone has loved, they just opened to a good response.

The true marker of success is when the creative minds behind a film can sit down and feel that they have succeeded in the mission they set out to accomplish - and that is to make good cinema. If we feel that we have achieved that as a team, then we have all been successful.

I am happy that I have entertained people and made them happy.

Filmmaking is a creative process so there is a lot of collaboration that happens on set between an actor and director, but at the end of the day, we're there to actualize the director's vision and things happen organically.

I do not believe that I am a perfectionist one bit. I truly believe that perfection is something that no one can achieve.

If a script has that affect on me during a reading, then it is definitely a film I want to be part of.
