I've always had a slightly overactive imagination.

In my experience of doing physical scenes, half of your energy is spent on trying to get the other actor to enter into it physically with you. Most actors don't want to hurt each other.

I think I'm always very naïve. With 'Kill Your Darlings' and 'Horns', I'm like, "Why wouldn't everybody love this?" But I guess it's going to divide people in some ways. But if you're willing to go with it and suspend your disbelief, you're going to get something amazing and something unlike anything else.

The Master and Margarita is my favorite. To me it’s the greatest exploration of the human imagination.

As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time - that doesn't work for me. I do that very unsuccessfully. I'd just rather sit at home and read, or go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh.

The thought of dancing scared me. A lot. Because I have absolutely no aptitude for it.

I'm always amazed at the way some actors' behaviour is truly disgusting. That's one thing that will never happen on one of my sets if I ever direct.
