My life is really precious. I don't want to spend it watching ambient TV that just drifts through you. I've got better things to do.

When you're dealing with killing people and things that are upsetting, that can be a delicate place to occupy yourself for a day.

Violence is a very ugly thing. Violence is often so casual on film, and made to look so cool and so sexy, but violence is a repulsive, repugnant act that human beings inflict on each other. It shouldn't seem to be cool and sexy, ever really.

One of the reasons a lot of actors go into the business is that for a short period of time, you get to be other people who you can only fantasize about being, by and large.

One of the things that I discovered in my research is that some serial killers build an ultimate reality around themselves that they believe in, 100%.

It has taken a long time for me to be able to really just be in front of the camera.

I think the older I get, the less I should be doing.
