One of the things that's really lousy about making movies is that you have such little interaction with your audience.

I really did Regression to work with Alejandro [Amenabar]. I found him very interesting. His movie, The Others, is one of the better scary movies of the last period of time.

Nothing teaches you like getting leveled. And I got leveled in my early 30s. Nothing went exactly the way I thought it would.

If you don't risk doing something foolish, you'll never do anything special.

Sometimes people, their creative drive comes from an energy to try to heal themselves.

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.

You need to be a good screen partner. It's very meaningful to me to be a part of great acting performances.
