I've just got to maintain my passion for what I do.

I feel a moral obligation to speak out at this key moment in human history - it is a moment for action.

It's a weird feeling when people are defining you, and you haven't even defined yourself.

People always ask, 'Was it fun? Was it fun working on a movie?' I don't know if that's the operative word. It is challenging and interesting and all those other things, but fun isn't always.

There is no element of genius without some form of madness.

I cheated a lot, because I just couldn't sit and do homework. I usually sat next to someone extremely smart.

The truth of the matter is this - I never look for films specifically, because ultimately if the fundamentals of the character and the script and the director aren't there, it makes it a moot point.
