If you do improvising, it can sometimes end up being a waste of time. And if you do that, it's more or less based on a writing process.

For me, acting is all about the aesthetic. I just want to keep honing my craft. Not that I'm taking myself too seriously, but every artist should consider himself Picasso. Otherwise, you're doing yourself an injustice.

I don't think that many people today, understand the nature of what an improv does for an actor in a specific setting. What an improv does for an actor is help him find the life; it's the life that an actor's after.

I could almost say it is my religion. I guess that sounds pretentious, but I want to live and breathe cinema.

There's the concept that if I do this big budget project, then that will help me do the things I really want to do and bring more money to those films.

Acting is ephemeral. It's not like making a painting that lasts forever. You're doing something, and the very action which comes and goes, is being demonstrated in front of you. Within that process, you're trying to go against the grain.

I've been allowed to grow over the past twenty years. I've managed to avoid being trapped in one moment of my career and for that, I'm very thankful
