Not living in L.A. gives me a different perspective. I'm not so caught up in the daily process of self-congratulations that's out there.

There are some films that really break the mold, and some films that don't. I've been looking for films that break the mold a bit.

I've had my heart broken, and it's not fun. But I'd rather have my heart broken than break someone else's heart.

I spent my entire first pay cheque from Cracker, a TV show on ABC, on an Audi because my other car broke down and I needed to get to work.

I look for the character to be something interesting, the script to have a good story and be original, and a director that I admire.

I just want to make good films on my own wherever I can.

If everything is going well in my life then I start to read the papers more and I start to worry about everything I can't deal with. They say wisdom is knowing what you can fix and what you can't change. I'm very unwise.
