The basic laws of good acting are the same, but everything about the experience is different-your job responsibility, the time you spend on it.

I tend to make low-budget movies but, yeah, I make more money than I ever thought I would make.

I love to work in all sorts of different situations. I think you learn a lot, which is why I try not to approach something the same way, because it might not be appropriate, and then you can get lazy just out of boredom. So I love any approach.

It is always good to explore the stuff you don't agree with, to try and understand a different lifestyle or foreign worldview. I like to be challenged in that way, and always end up learning something I didn't know.

I think everybody handles things very differently and you can conjecture, but until you're put in that situation, you really don't know.

To be too knowing is a downfall.

Theater is the foundation of how I live my life, actually. My father was a playwright, so I was around it all the time and loved to talk shop with him, just loved it. And basically everything that I hold to be good and true and worthy, I learned in the theater. So not even just about the work, but just about life. Discipline, problem solving, creativity, how to get along with people.
