Movies are very subjective.

Whenever I work on a part, I look at the world through the filter of the character and I pick things they might use through my observations of real life.

I don't have too much time to jam with the rest of Hollywood.

You have to find your tone and work within that to make it as real so the audience can really engage in the story you're telling.

One thing I want to do is create something called Ring Around Congress. It would be a state deal and also a national thing, where the kids, as a field trip, will go and join hands around Congress and give the politicians report cards on how they're voting on hunger issues.

Tightness gets in the way of everything, except tightness.

I've gone out of my way to not take baggage with me from film to film.
