When you love something, it never goes away.

I want to investigate what scares me and worries me.

When you finish some film and you let it out there, it is completely out of your control. You've done what you've done, you haven't done what you haven't done, and now you are up for judgment. People can be all kinds of ruthless and they can be all kinds of wonderful. The joy in what I do is in the doing of it. And then there is the part where people are either going to see what I've offered and liked it or they are going to see what I've offered and wish they hadn't.

For me, one of the most important things I look for in an actor is whether we can converse. Do we have a similar ability to discuss a character?

Try to be as good a listener as you are a speaker. Don't just put the emphasis on saying things. Listen.

Some people are just not going to like me and they're not going to like my work. But that doesn't mean I'm a bad person.

For me, I was given a great gift by my father and my mother in that I was never told any idea was bad. I was told I could explore any thought as long as I wasn't hurting someone else.
