I'd be lying if I said I had confidence in every choice I've made, that I have faith in every film I do on every shot.

I don't have a lot of experiences like this where every time I thought I had a good idea it was totally wrong. I had to give in completely and just try to make the movie Alejandro Amenábar was trying to make.

The most creative and most periods of my life that were, had the most growth, were the ones where I was perceived to be failing. Perceived success is a, is really hard 'cause it doesn't really, it's not asking you to grow, see failure is asking you to grow.

I have had so many bad auditions.

Have this Chet Baker movie coming out and in that situation, I went down the rabbit hole studying Chet Baker and being obsessed with the period and the music and the relationships and the dynamic, and everything, drug addiction. There was so much I wanted to get at to kind of get at the truth. With Regression, I was certainly in Alejandro's [Amenabar] hands.

Whenever a really passionate, talented filmmaker seems to have an interest in me, I take it very seriously because I like to work.

My relationship to reality has been so utterly skewed for so long that I don't even notice it any more. It's just my reality.
