I'm not too worried about humanity in the future. I think we've got an innate ability as a species to self-correct.

I would say I was challenging the system quite. But I like to think that if the choices I make are slightly unexpected or challenging to people, then that is good. We are definitely three fairly like-minded people in terms of what we value in scripts and in storytelling.

There is something inherently valuable about being a misfit. It's not to say that every person who has artistic talent was a social outcast, but there is definitely a value for identifying yourself differently and being proud that you are different.

You pick projects for the part, the director, and the script. I just want to do different, interesting stuff.

I don't know where my romanticism comes from. My mom and dad would read to me a lot. 'Treasure Island,' 'Robinson Crusoe,' tales of chivalry and knights, things like that. Those are the stories I loved growing up.

There's no shame in enjoying a quiet life. And that's been the realization of the past few years for me.

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