Having a partner who has nothing to do with Hollywood helps keep things in perspective.

It's really interesting making films and actually seeing the life that they have in the subsequent years and seeing which ones stand up over time and which ones sort of fade away.

You never really know what the director has got in his mind as far as the scene visually and art direction wise, etc. Even if you do, sometimes there's a side of things that don't necessarily gel the way people intend. So there a bit of a mystical entity, film.

I really enjoy a variety of different work, and what I've just done may sometimes determine what I choose to do next.

Ultimately the most challenging thing, always, is to just be convincing

If it's a great role or a great film, then you're happy to be a part of it.

The thing I've come to learn is that what's great about small independent films is the intimacy and the communication that occurs when you're making them.
