I think you learn more from looking at how things occurred and what happened afterward, not just at the event

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

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.

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

You think of stars as ambitious or aggressive or self-oriented.

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.

My interest lies in my self-expression -- what's inside of me -- not what I'm in.
