Some movies, I think, present ideas of the world that just don't help people with their lives. They just present things that are fleeting or stupid. So that's what I'm careful about - making sure I'm part of something that is saying something that I think is valuable in the world of people, not necessarily in the world of art.

I didn't read the script [ Rules Don't Apply ] for a couple years. It basically amounted to this kind of apprenticeship with Warren [Beatty]: conversations and learning about his whole background in the film industry and his life.

I'm just excited to be a part of the movie [Star Wars]. It's always the particulars that are the most exciting.

I'm glad to be an actor to be employed by people who are now 12, probably. I look forward to that.

I remember Tetro was a big deal to me at that time. It was going from zero to one: Never having been in a movie, a person who had no relationship to any of that, and that was my first movie.

So many times you can't get a foot in the door unless you're already in the room.

When you work for the Coens, they are so fun and so organized. They treat everyone with such respect. And the character I got to play was so fun.
