When I was younger, I thought, 'Ok, I'm supposed to do this project because it'll help my career,' but that didn't work because I ended up doing movies that I worked really hard on but I didn't really like and they didn't turn out well, so it was like I lost double. Once I just started working with people and projects I believed in, everything changed and I suddenly had a career that I loved and that I was proud of.

The hair is really a way to push me even farther out of just what people know me for. I don't really know what people know me for.

I've been acting for many years now, and I find there's nothing I enjoy more than making films with my friends and people I like, who also are the funniest people around.

Adapting a book is essentially a collaboration, whether the author is alive or dead.

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.

I was a black center in the middle of all the nature. I was nothing, but I could do anything.

I'm an actor, I do movies, and I need to find somebody who enjoys that kind of stuff. It's not like, "Oh, I have my work time, and we go on a date, and it better be darn fun and exciting!" I think it should all coalesce a bit more.
