Being at the mercy of the acting profession, in the early days of one's career, is really brutal and feels like you have no control over your life, at all.

I always think it's better to take a smaller role in a great film rather than a leading role in something that you don't have complete faith in.

They say that theater is the actor's medium, television is the writer's medium and film is the director's medium, and it's really true.

And I just want to work with good directors and good people.

I've been profoundly germophobic since I was a young child. I don't want to kiss anyone but my girlfriend for my whole life.

I'm usually the guy who knocks everyone out in order to get the girl.

I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn't go to university. Instead, I went to a community college and studied the theory and history of film with the idea that I wanted to write and direct.
