Being on a set for one day is hard enough no matter what it is. You're the new guy, and you go in, and as you get comfortable it's over.

I try to keep an open mind but I'm so tired of the mediocrity.

I’m just a real loner kind of person, and yeah, kinda dark. But I’m happy. Not sad. I’m just shy and nervous.

It takes years to readjust dynamics and relationships, and to overnight create the new dynamic, I was surprised by how challenging that was for me personally.

I don't know about "dream role." I do so many dramatic roles or period films or [play] traumatized people or stressed-out people or very intense things, high stakes happening all the time.

We need to humanize women instead of making the idea of a woman be so stigmatized. That's what's interesting to me as a writer and a director - being able to tell stories that represent women as human beings and don't relate specifically to their gender. I want to just allow them to have their journeys.

When the scene is over, a lot of people cut. The actors are acting. And they just stop acting. But I think that leaving people in that moment and seeing where else it can go and pushing them to take it further, a lot of special things can happen.
