For people who have... had curve balls thrown at them, it is easier to digest change and digest change in other people. Change only scares the small-minded. The small-minded and me.

I love getting ready to do a scene, and thinking about it, and talking about it. But the rest of the time, I'm so nervous and obsessed. I'm just tearing my hair out in the trailer. The whole time I'm really tense.

Movies are collaborative, and that's part of what makes it a great experience. They're different from a lot of other art forms, but also it makes it seem like when you see the final product, you go, "I wouldn't have done that. I wouldn't have done this."

In a movie we try to deceive. In theaters, as they say, the deceived are the wisest.

I live in New York full time. I can't live in L.A., because I fear people think I'm a vagrant there.

When people ask me why I don't eat meat or any other animal products, I say, 'Because they are unhealthy and they are the product of a violent and inhumane industry.'

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