I'm drawn to provocative characters that find themselves in extreme situations. And I think I'm drawn to that consistently.

What's most galvanizing for me is the opportunity to be topical and relevant and entertaining. That's the holy grail.

I'm definitely not drawn to shooting on a stage, I'm just not.

I like high impact movies.

I began to exercise a lot of cinematic muscle with the precepts I had learned in the New York art world. Film was intriguing. I began to think of art as elitist, whereas film was not.

It's irrelevant who or what directed a movie; the important thing is that you either respond to it or you don't.

I don't believe in censorship in any form.
