I don't attribute an actor's great success to their own individual performance when it's something as collaborative as a movie.

When playing a role, I would feel more comfortable, as you're given a prescribed way of behaving. So, both Facebook and theatre provide contrived settings that provide the illusion of social interaction.

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

Acting is kind of difficult to intellectualize - it's a far more visceral experience. It's really hard to be able to think about and then employ these kind of esoteric notions of this person's backstory and try to weave it in somehow. It's just kind of impossible.

When you're on set you don't realize the way something is going to look since you're on the other side of the camera.

Acting is a weird, kind of alienating job because you're in an isolated place. Even if you're working with a lot of other people, you're kind of alienated. Actors say that a lot, and I kind of find that to be true.

No compliment is ever sufficient and every insult, of course, is true.
