I'm sure there are directors who don't like to work with actors and don't know how to be sensitive to actors.

I prefer when movies target my heart instead of my mind.

I like film because it brings you very close to the absurd reality that you might spend a day shooting and not get a single image that you like or works, and you won't really know for a few days at least as you wait. It connects you and grounds you to a material reality and a patience that seems lost with digital. I also think the grain texture remains forever different, and in my opinion, what I find to be more beautiful.

I'm not passive aggressive. If something bothers me, I think about it, then I act on it. I express it.

I'm fascinated by how ethnic communities have assimilated into massive capitalist environments.

There are two parts of me. There's the really critical, film-nerd part of me that loves that, and then there's the part of me where I'm like, "I really didn't like that movie, but I want to work with that director because he loves actors."

I've been lucky to play characters that are really broad.
