People have a hard time accepting when someone displays even the slightest amount of discomfort in the spotlight. You're supposed to soak up every bit of fame like it’s sunshine.

Acting is such a personal thing, which is weird because at the same time it's not. It's for the consumption of other people. But in terms of creative outlets and expressing yourself, it's just the most extreme version of that that I've ever found. It's like running, it's exertion.

You're literally being an actor - you're pretending - and that's not what I like to do.

The strangest part about being famous is you don't get to give first impressions anymore. Everyone already has an impression of you before you meet them.

Actors walk around wearing these little tool-belts of acting skills. And I just don't find that interesting to watch. I never want to see someone who clearly can cry at the drop of a hat. That's so uninteresting.

If I could read any person's mind, it would be my cat's.

I don't want to make movies for kids, and I don't want to make movies for adults either.
