It's exciting to take control of your future instead of waiting for the phone to ring.

I guess what I learned about myself is I'm a bit of a socialist; I want everyone on the set to get equal treatment and credit.

People in theatre work harder than anyone in the world - as far as I'm concerned - as far as sheer output of energy and the rigor and excellence that they maintain doing something every day, or twice a day.

As an actor, I've always been interested in making sure I can perform the role and the lines in the way the writer intended.

I think film is collaboration, and I always want to hear everyone's input.

The saddest and strangest part of Hollywood to me is the fact that millions of dollars are spent on developing works that never get made. It doesn't make any sense to me. I don't understand it.

I think we all learn by doing rather than thinking about doing.
