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

My philosophy about the whole thing is that awards are like gifts: it's lovely to receive them, and it is very bad form to covet them.

I get invited to literally every single movie premiere that's going on.

The truth of the matter is the real industry is in LA and the cream of the talent is there.

I don't just look at things as an actor. I've also written several films, so I look at it as a storyteller and I know if something worked and should have been in there for the benefit of the story and the benefit of the character.

Everybody, at some point in their life, has fallen down and not felt like getting back up, but you have to, no matter how difficult it is.

If I went to them all dressed up and flashed a nice smile for the cameras it would probably be easier for me to get work. But I just can't tolerate it.
