On an independent film, you really learn about pace. You have so little time to do things, that you really have to know your scenes.

When you're first in love with somebody, and it's not true love, it's borderline obsession, it's kind of like an addiction. You switch into this weird, weird part of your mind when you just can't live without that person. And you want to envelop them. You want them flowing through your veins.

I never want to sell my soul for something I don't believe in. Because guess what? Somebody somewhere in the world would have believed in that part and should be playing it - who am I to not allow that person that opportunity?

You can't really help people until you've helped yourself first.

I find standard American the hardest. It really fits in a different place in your mouth. Southern, I find the easiest. If you talk to a dialect coach and you get sort of technical, where an English person keeps their voice in their throat, a Southern person does the same, and it's got the same sort of music to talking.

I think it's important to find projects that evoke people into conversation. It's like reading a good book. You want to talk about it.

That's the great thing about the 'Sin City' movies. Each little slot is incredibly meaningful, and each character has their own moment.
