So I have this word for much of what I do in life: 'plorking.' I'm not playing and I'm not working, I'm plorking.

As filmmakers, we're constantly always looking for something to bring the audience deeper into the reality of the story we're telling.

Making films is sort of like you're pulling off a magic trick. It's sort of like an illusion. It's not real but you want it to appear real, and all kinds of things go into that, from the clothes you're wearing to the make-up, to the light.

I'm very much into the costuming of any character that I portray and it's one of the great things about making movies is it's a collaborative art form so you get all these artists who are looking specifically about for this instance your character's costume and what that might tell about your character.

I gotta take notes when things occur to me.

You don't want to do what your parents want you to do. You got your own things. And the whole idea of getting a job because of who your father is - that didn't isn't right.

If some crazy idea stays in my head for long enough, then there's no fighting it. I just say, Okay, let's go.
