As an actor, no matter what, you're at the whim of so many other people all the time.

I love movies that are saying things that people might find odd at times. I don't find them odd at all. They give me comfort.

We were talking about the kissing in the movie just recently. Clearly, it's pretty challenging material, but Ang said two men herding sheep was far more sexual than two men having sex on screen.

Sometimes what I actually love to do is go to a farm and get fresh milk or watch a pig get slaughtered.

When somebody's really good, they're not just thinking about their job.

I was working with Michael Shannon and I was like, "Oh man I'm having trouble with this scene." And he's like, "Well, then just open it up." I was like, "But, the mark?" And I was like, what's wrong with me? And he was like, "Dude, what's wrong with you?"

On a spiritual level, on a place where you want to be a better human being and listen more, I try. I joke, but it has. I mean, I don't consider myself a card-carrying Buddhist, you know. But I do believe deeply in the ideas, and I think anytime you have interest in anything, it somehow humbles you.
