I don't know if I see myself as really an action hero, but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.

I've only been to Dublin once, and I had a great time. I got completely soaked because it was rainy.

What the digital age has offered us, in terms of connectivity and transparency, is that all of these people from weird places in the world are all talking to each other, at four in the morning, and are sharing ideas. There's more openness than has ever been known, so that's a good thing.

I'm a technician. I don't go for the get-into-the-role stuff. I read the lines and play the scenes.

The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.

I like dramas. I've always liked dramas. And I'm a pretty light person. I don't consider myself a very dramatic person. But I do like doing that onscreen.

Acting, for me, is exhausting. I'm always more energized by directing. It's more intense to direct. I can pop in and express myself, then pop out again. It's a huge passion for me.
