My generation is having its midlife crisis in its 20s.

I'm a New Yorker, you know.

You dream as an actor's director of letting moments breathe through two-shots.

People wrestle sometimes making movies, and I think that conflict is a very essential thing. I think a lot of very happy productions have produced a lot of very banal movies.

Well, I don't feel that I've played so many bad guys, and I'm rot really drawn to villains per se. I think a lot of people relate to some of my characters' inner struggles.

You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label.

I'm not a very methodologically pure actor. Almost every time that I start, I feel completely at sea. Always at the beginning I feel like a fraud, really, because I'm never sure how to get started.
