Even through my college years, I was trying out plays and shows, but I never really thought it made much sense to try to be an actor. I thought it was foolish, really.

Page one of the script, I launch into, "How would I feel if I were in this position?" That's an actor's job.

I don't need to prove that I'm some great international filmmaker. It's not really on my list of goals.

What's fascinating about acting is that you put yourself in somebody else's mind or in their shoes.

I know something great will come around the corner, and that's what I'll be doing next.

I was a film student. I became an actor but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.

What people actually refer to as research is really just Googling. I already have a complicated relationship with research. It used to be going to the library and looking up archival photos, etc.
