I find auditioning to be a very illusive process, where actors come in with this really big result with no process, so it's a lie already at work.

My work is always more emotional than I am. My characters say things to each other that I get accused of not being able to say to my girlfriend.

I've been living in Portland for five months and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I probably won't really know for years because that's how it works right? You don't really develop feelings about a place till you've left it. It's like a girl or a dog.

I grew up eating hamburger helper, macaroni and cheese, and drinking lots of milk, and looked at lots of cows; but I feel like a New Yorker now, I've lived here for sixteen years.

I don't like the sort of hierarchical, totalitarian type of room a lot of directors can find themselves in.

My life has been in shambles, like my personal relationships, my laundry, paying bills now I have someone who pays my bills and it's always been a challenge because it overwhelms me.

We only have so much time.... Time will kill you – it really will.
