I think you always have to go as an artist with instinct, I really do.

I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an undistilled vision.

I'll always take an artistic endeavor over a career move.

It's interesting how when you walk into a room in LA there's a sense of what you walk in, as is sort of what you can do. So I spent a lot of time choosing different things to hopefully show people that maybe that's not the case.

When a sports movie really works, it gets you on all levels, because the stakes are high. It's black and white. It's win or lose.

Personally, just as an actor, I love accents; they're fun.

My favorite thing is to have a big dinner with friends and talk about life.
