The first thing I need to get sorted out before I can then move forward, before I can feel any confidence whatsoever, is the voice.

I always look at films as real stories with real people in real situations. That's why I struggle with the whole notion of calling someone the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy,' because I think we all have potential to do good things and all have the potential to do bad things.

Sometimes I'll go for something more because of the story, or more because of the director. But, generally, I have to feel like it's something that I have a real sympathy for - a person that I can completely go, "Oh, wow, oh, I'm there." Otherwise I don't feel like I will be able to pull it off at all. I know I haven't done everything very well in the past; some things have worked and some things haven't. But I need to feel like I can feel about the person, understand that person, I suppose.

I just can't talk about things before I do them, because just for me... I give energy away before I've put energy into the job.

A movie that gets a PG-13 rating can show someone running down a street killing 27 people. And there are no repercussions.

I grew up with such an affinity to cats. I adore the way that they think and operate.

I grew up doing musicals. I've done so many musicals in my life, I kind of got them out of my system. But, I certainly would be open to them. Rocky Horror Show is a big favorite of mine.
