I feel like success to me is about feeling like I have done something in storytelling, where I've gotten close to articulating something intangible that I'm feeling, and I think I get closer every time, but I don't know that I've done that yet.

One of my favorite stories growing up was 'A Wrinkle in Time'. I loved that book.

I think I am looking as an actor to find ways to push myself into places I haven't been before as a human being.

A couple of compromises in a row and suddenly you're very far way from the person you thought you were.

I get uncomfortable when people give me presents and watch me open them. I don't have birthday parties, because the idea of a group of people singing and looking at me while I'm blowing out candles gives me hives.

I'm really into rocks. I have a really serious rock collection. Rocks and feathers and shells and strange found things in nature. I have a lot of those kinds of collections.

I think one thing for sure that you learn the more films that you make is how important it is to choose your collaborators.
