I've always done roles that really appealed to me on a gut level and which I found inspiring.

I don't need a reason to kill myself-I need a reason not to.

I love Polaroids and I have a Polaroid camera collection from the '50s.

I've always done roles that really appealed to me on a gut level and which I found inspiring.

Even if the role is very far away from me, to try and make it as nakedly me as possible is an intriguing notion.

I'm not necessarily less gratified by films where you're given less room to maneuve. Because I love a great script, and I love to respect it, and I love to try to give a director what he needs and wants, especially having directed now. [Laughs.] I'm much more open to try to give him what he wants and figure it out. I like working with directors I respect and admire, obviously. And everybody has their own way.

I feel like I turned down a lot of things that I wish I hadn't. But you never know when you're younger. I don't have regrets about certain things I turned down. Those films would have required things of me that would have been challenging, and they ended up being really good movies. But I was never a careerist, I never thought in those terms. I'd be like, "Oh, I'm tired. I don't want to work."
