I think the most important thing for an actor is reading the script and trying to figure out if you can play that character well. The last thing on my mind is if the director made good movies previously. It's not my job to know if that director's last movie was any good - it's my job to know if I can play the role.

The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there's no audience.

I have a job that requires me to be in the public eye in the way that makes me extra careful about sharing information.

As an actor, you have to be open to doing things where you look stupid, to be experimental.

Devils don't come from hell beneath us, they come from the sky.

Working in the arts, you see people who come from terrible circumstances and who, for whatever reason, have incredible talent. But of course, with that great talent comes some guilt because, if you come from circumstances that don't encourage it, it can be really confusing.

The frustrating part of being a movie actor is waiting in your trailer to do two takes of a scene you've prepared for two months.
