My sensitivity level is high, but I think that's one of my assets as an actor.

In my first film, Five Corners, I played a very scary, violent crazed character, and it exposed me to a lot of directors.

When you're directing, it is a little easier, because when you're the actor, you have a to be a little more of a child. You have to get into the child's aspect of your personality a little bit more.

In a lot of movies, honestly, the directors don't talk to you that much. Maybe they say, "Faster, slower," whatever. Sometimes they give you little adjustments, because sometimes you want to start out neutral, but a lot of times you wind up directing yourself anyway, just doing what you think is the right thing to do.

A lot of films need planning in order to survive at all. It's part of the dog and pony show

If I was a criminal, stationery stores and bakeries would be the two kinds of places I would concentrate on.

A lot of those people aren't their best salesmen. They're the opposite of a salesperson and I think there's something attractive about that.
