My tendency as an actor is, when there's a certain energy, I feel a challenge to match it, to come up to that plate and play on the same level.

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.

Sexuality is one of the biggest parts of who we are.

One of the most important things for an actor is to observe humanity.

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

I always feel like I want to work with people who raise my game, and I can do the same for them, and we can jump off the cliff together.

I find often in Hollywood there are many people who play themselves really beautifully. And certain parts are not that dissimilar from who you are as a person. And there are other parts where you would like to think that you have nothing in common with those characters, but you probably do have more than you think.
