I'm a firm believer in taking risks in life, because you'll never get anywhere unless you do, and the more risk involved the greater the outcome - or the worse, but you never know so you've got to go for it.

I think every movie is its own little world, and a director certainly sets the tone.

In studio films, everything has to be boxed in, everybody needs to know beforehand - this is comedy, this is sci-fi, this is drama - and what's the point of independent film if you don't get to experiment?

I like the work that I get to do.

If you do well as an actor, a good director will pick up on it, and keep it in the film.

Nobody sets out to make a bad film.

It's not as if you can act bigger to fit the surroundings or the budget more. Whatever, it just doesn't work that way.
