If I read something and I love it, I'll do it and I don't even ask what the budget is.

The longer you have something, the stronger the bond. That's true with people as well as things.

I just think that's the job of an actor. I guess that's the variation that you're talking about. It's probably a byproduct of just constantly looking for something different, because that's what I feel like I'm supposed to do.

Throw your children in the surf and let them get used to it. They have to learn all about rips and tides and swimming between the flags and all that sort of stuff. I know that sounds ridiculous but it's true.

The more I love the character, the harder it is to get it wrong. I have to get to a point that I can speak for them.

I usually befriend the camera department very early on in the film and drive them nuts. I'm constantly bombarding them with questions and going through the stills photography. A film set is a great place for me and I love it.

I'm spending all my time and energy on the project at hand.
