Well, there's two things I have criteria for doing a film: The script, which is the story, and the filmmaker, and it's a filmmaker's medium. I like really strong directors, and so when I do a film, I'm out there to serve the director, really, which is in turn to serve the script, to serve the director cause he's the one making the film. I relied on Todd Haynes for that.

Horseracing and ranch horses are two different animals. You're getting race horses out and running and running them. It can be really problematic. A thoroughbred's very delicate.

I've always considered myself a character actor. That's the way I was trained, really.

I don't have a grand strategy for my career. I just look for good material, and good stories. I look for good scripts.

I try to be eclectic in my choice of films. If I've done anything that's intentional in my career, it's to try to do as many different types of characters and as many different types of genres of movies that I can.

I can't hit a ball more than 200 yards. I have no butt. You need a butt if you're going to hit a golf ball.

I have a resistance to change in things that I feel comfortable with and that I'm used to.
