Where else do you find great directors? Acting is one of the places.

I direct in the same way that I act, which is thinking about what the scene needs.

Film is such a bizarre vehicle for acting. It's such a bizarre experience. I don't think you ever really get familiar with it. If you do get familiar with it, you're probably not that good anymore.

I was always curious about motivation and intention, and really, that's a lot of what acting is.

You always have to create the character from the ground up.

You can think about your career or you can think about your job. I like to think about my job.

I'm misrepresented as a scary person. I'm not. It's all about my size and my eyebrows.
