I seem to have been cast several several times to do it. I think in this one, Phoenix is not purely evil. She was in the comic books at some point but the way the writers created her or we always talked about her, was that she was torn with her powers taking over and trying to control them at the same time. It was challenging to play which made it interesting for me to play this character.

I'm trying to fight typecasting as hard as I can, while I have time.

I don't think about better. You just want it to work. You want it to work and you have your guide with the script. You want it to exist and complete.

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?

The biggest challenge is how you get money for independent films, in these ever-changing times when most people don't really want to invest in that anymore.

Just because youre of the same sex, what difference does it make? Get married to whomever you want.

Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.
