A lot of times the character's experience is not in accordance with the tone of the movie and it's not really my job to account for the tone of the movie. That's the director's job.

I think there's nothing more wonderful than using fiction to reflect real-world cultural ideas.

All of my pleasures are guilty, but that's just the way I'm wired.

I did children's theater when I was younger, and then when I was about 14 I started doing theater in New York City.

Nothing is harder than working with an actor who doesn't take it seriously or show up in the same way that you are.

Acting is a weird profession. It's very disquieting, and at the time it just made me so confused. It's only when you step away from a movie for several weeks or months that you start to put things in perspective.

If you're afraid of everything out there, you quit going out there.
