I've turned down good directors before because I knew the part didn't speak to me and I've worked with less talented directors before because the part I had such passion for.

I've always watched actors on the red carpet getting drunk and making idiots of themselves and now I'm happy to join their ranks

I'm always trying to look for how I can find human stories that aren't just dramas.

And the best films feel like a fist punching you in the solar plexus and all elements of the filmmaking process - the acting, the design, the cinematography, the music, is all working to one end.

One of the hardest things about my job is that there kind of is no one rulebook that applies to all situations.

In truth, the world is a complicated place.

Life's hard. It's supposed to be. If we didn't suffer, we'd never learn anything.
