My dad told me, 'It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success', and it took me seventeen and a half years.

I think you have to be fair with one another. It's unfortunate when someone does something that's not authentic, or not there for any reason other than to draw attention.

It's interesting because you feel on the one hand, we understand people from what the say, and in another sense, you'd think that you'd be able to convey more through dialogue.

The normal routine is always the same thing whether it's on a new movie or a new job - there's always a process of getting to know one another. I think part of what makes movies special is that it is a relatively intimate environment and it's pretty short-lived - you get to know one another very quickly.

I grew up without a lot of money and my parents grew up with far less money. And that's kept me in line. Really in line.

I try to pace myself and not work for the sake of working and stick to what inspired me prior to receiving recognition.
