I was really short in high school. I was stuck on the bench in the baseball team, so I just thought I'd try out theater, and that was the last time I did sports.

I read the book and I think, "Well, this is the movie we're going to make," and then someone else reads it, and they take a completely different movie from it. And both are valid.

Definitely, my approach is me-oriented. I feel like my job is to safeguard the believability of the emotions of the character.

You're encouraged to do the same kind of movies. But I would like to keep doing different things.

You sleep with people all the time that you hate.

My aim was not to fool. My aim was to provoke thought and stir emotion.

If you show up in L.A. with your shirt inside out or socks mismatched, people start putting change in your cup.
