Making a movie is you're really only as good as your weakest link, so when everyone's working at their best and it actually comes together, it's an extraordinary thing because it doesn't always.

I don't believe in the death penalty. I believe that there are other people as we speak right now in prison, wrongfully accused, who could serve such a fate. That is injustice at its greatest.

I wake up so full of life and feeling so alive and so full of joy when I get to go to a set and tell a story. I just - I couldn't imagine not having that, and what a gift it's been in my life.

I believe that the definition of luck is when preparation meets with opportunity.

What I love about making movies is that it's a collaboration. It's one of the most rewarding things, to create something and have someone show you something that you didn't see, and vice versa.

The idea of playing a character for even two years, to me feels claustrophobic - only because I want to play a lot of different people.

I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there.
