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 have to just worry about my own opinion and the opinions of the people I'm working with and people who are close to me.

I've been acting since I was a kid, so I just feel confident in the fact that I can do it to some degree. I've never thought I was amazing; I've just thought, 'I know this, I can do it.

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

I felt much better when I started to become myself a bit more and to spend time with people who I genuinely liked as opposed to the people I felt I should be spending time with.

For me it would be unhealthy to be a method actor; I'm not mentally stable enough for that - I need to separate my two worlds.

With young people, there's often that carelessness, allowing yourself to get into danger - recklessness, I suppose.
