The movies people don't talk about or remember after six months' time don't really matter.

I wasn't going to be a college kid. The only subject I was interested in was English. I think I had a subconscious interest in analyzing story.

The thing I love about working with first-time directors is that it's always quite shocking how little difference there is between them and directors who've been directing all their lives.

Film sets are great fun. Film people are great people to hang around with. I don't want to run off and be distracted by other things.

If you're lucky enough to be involved in a film that's about something very real and that you hope will continue to hold up in 20 years' time it just gives you more energy and makes it feel all the more worthwhile.

I never look at the size of the film when I'm looking for a part.

The only thing that may make me different from other people is I have passionate interests outside of work.
