There is a greater a sense of pride - like when we did Kill the Messenger - and that was probably one of my more fun experiences on a movie set. Having everyone there on the same team, it just feels really great.

I like repressed characters. That gives me a lot of freedom to make a lot of different choices through subtleties.

We want to have movies be seen. So, first and foremost, what's the world? So we can get it onto a big screen.

I will never be in the stock market. It's just gambling. I'm a gambler, but I'll gamble on the practicality of things.

What matters to me is learning and growing, and getting to do what I love to do. As long as I can do that, I'm happy.

People find themselves in ruts all the time. You're in a complacent lifestyle where you work 9 to 5 and then you add a mortgage and kids. You feel trapped, but guess what, brother? You constructed that life. If you're OK with it, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you've got unease, then you've got to make a change.

I have a hard time saying "no" if it's right. I don't say "no" to say "no." I said "no" when I didn't have a pot to piss in. I still said "no" to big money jobs because they didn't make creative sense to me.
