I think that certain directors are better at choosing actors that match well with each other. And I have feelings about actors and who I think I'd work well with better moreso than others.

You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you're excited for the day? That's one of my main goals in life.

The performances that I love are ones like Gena Rowlands in 'A Woman Under the Influence,' where women are allowed to be messy and imperfect. It's that kind of woman that has always inspired me to seek roles that are a little out of the box. I just haven't always had the opportunity to do them.

I mean look at Antichrist. He's not making films to be liked by everyone, so why is this so surprising coming from Lars von Trier?

I'm a good assistant. That's why I don't have an assistant, because I'm so on it that no one can be as on it as me. I know that.

If everyone smoked weed, the world would be a better place.

I never read comics as a kid. I guess I was lazy and watched cartoons instead.
