When I was a young actor, I just didn’t understand how to function in this business as an artist. It is a business, it’s called the film business for a reason, there’s money involved ... But on the flip side, now I do not let the business side of it rule either. It’s a balance.

A director on a film really sets the tone of how people go about things, so everybody is happy to be at work and everybody does their best.

Directing, editing, and everything about filmmaking has definitely changed me as an actor.

I love to bring humour into my work. Because comedy is not a huge part of the art world. And big-business film takes itself very seriously.

If this is the only life, then why I’m not just doing everything I want to do.

You just don't really rehearse kissing scenes, whether it's male or female.

You are successful if you are able to work on the kind of material that you want to - if your life conforms to your dreams, regardless of outside acceptance or acclaim.
