Same job, whether it's comedy or drama. Regardless of the weight of the role, I feel like the job is always kind of the same. Who is this person? What's this guy here, and how is he playing with this thing, and what's he trying to say? And what's the volley with all these other people around him?

Good scripts and interesting stories are hard enough to find.

Part of filmmaking is always a guessing game, and part of it is always a game of trust.

I don't think there's any connection between my journalism career and my film career. They are two totally different mediums and very different skills.

I was just a quiet kid, really. I wasn't the class clown at all.

There's no harmony in most people in a way, and I'm attracted to it, and I think it makes for good storytelling.

I find fear is a great motivator to work hard.
