Pretend was a big part of my childhood.

There's lots of good movies where you feel that the dialogue could be improvised, but very little was. The "Big Lebowski" was like that where people say "oh, you know, that sounds so..." and we'd always go back and get every man, every ellipses in there the way these guys write it. Because not only is it saying what Michael wants the character to say but the way they all speak kind of creates this tone because it's not exactly real.

There's kind of a Zen aspect to bowling. The pins are either staying up or down before you even throw your arm back. It's kind of a mind-set. You want to be in this perfect mind-set before you released the ball.

Generally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there's a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual.

My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me.

When you truly commit in your life, you start receiving more than you could imagine.

Yeah, I loved Ray Bradbury.
