Now, even when I see the trailers, I get so excited because it's like I'm seeing a movie that I haven't seen at all before, whatsoever. And then I just happen to be in it.

I love being directed. I always find it helpful to have someone else's brain in the mix and not just have to rely on myself.

Sometimes I'll get a bunch of my friends to pretend they're my fans and then I'll walk out on the street and I'll have them mob me just so I can prepare.

The Prohibition era is so vividly depicted in Lawless. John Hillcoat does a remarkable job of rooting his film in such a tangible reality.

I was a big "Blue Valentine" fan. I really loved that movie. And I thought the performances were just unbelievably real, which is certainly what I always strive for in my work.

Money has never been important to me. I come from garbage. I'm a sewer rat who made it here. I have no interest in money and never have.

I’ve actually been in a lot of movies that involve sucking on fingers.
