I've always felt like I work in a small little area that doesn't represent anything like the rest of society.

How many people didn't get a part who would have been better than the person who got the part? Thousands.

Most entertainment is trying to get you. It's tested, like toothpaste.

I come from the place where I am thinking 'I have put my blood on the pages.'

I never wanted to be a director.

You know, when cameras are rolling, improvisation doesn't feel natural. The pressure is too great. You're on a time schedule. You've got 60 crewmen.

I don't think the goal is, 'How big a star did you ever become?' I think the goal is, 'Were you able to express yourself?'
