A strange thing happens to me that I'm sure happens to a lot of actors when the camera starts rolling. I'm not 'me' any more.

When you act, you really have to give all of yourself, and if you're doing that purely for money, it's not healthy.

I'd rather make an interesting film that gets people talking, that maybe some people hate, than make the kind of 'entertaining' film that everyone feels ambivalent about.

I’m torn. I want an ‘R’ (rating) because we can get a lot of cool scenes into it, but then I like the idea of younger girls being able to see it.

It doesn't really matter what people think of me, I should just be connecting with people I really like instead of pretending to be the perfect version of myself.

I prefer to make a film that people have a really intense reaction to than have a film that people feel ambivalent about.

Affairs are loaded with romanticism, morality, mythology, and intense emotions. They're not really about sex, but about pain and fear and the desire to feel alive. They're also about betrayal.
