In the end, winning is sleeping better.

But now I really don't want to work unless I really, really care about a project.

It's a skill that people are born with. Either you're a focuser or you're a multitasky person. I am a full-focus person.

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

By the first week of shooting, you know exactly where your film is heading based on the psychology of your director.

Otherness is a big thing for me. I'm always drawn to characters that live lives that I couldn't lead.

I'd like to work more as a director. It's distracting being an actor, because - there's a lot of reasons. You find out you're going to work about six months before you start shooting, and then there's prep and there's post afterward, and there's stuff to do, and then suddenly you've gone a year without directing. There's a part of me that has to not be tempted by that in order to commit more to the directing. Honestly, the big reason for me to act is to observe other directors and learn from them. That seems to be the biggest draw.
