That's one of the benefits of working on big budget films. You work with people who have a lot of experience and you get to learn a lot.

I was always drawn to tough girls. I liked that domineering thing.

I grew up in the Lower East Side of New York.

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

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

Every girl I've gone out with has said something to me first.

I find that the most interestingly written parts happen to be the bad guys.
