I prefer playing characters that are going through turmoil. Most movie characters are just in service to the story.

I don't watch the movies I've been in. I try to stay as little aware of the final product as possible, because my job doesn't really change.

I write plays instinctively. I don't like writing movie scripts.

It's really hard to copy another actor and be successful. In fact, that's usually the reason people are not good, because they're copying something they've seen, but, for some reason with their face and their body, it doesn't work.

I tend to prefer the smaller movies because they shoot more efficiently and so you're are able to maintain that momentum of the character a little more easily.

I often think if you have time to sit around the house feeling bad for yourself, you have time to tutor a child. I'm guilty of that exact thing. I will spend more time sitting around feeling bad for myself than actually helping somebody.

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