I'm a typically lazy person. It is sort of characteristic of actors.

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

Everyone assumes that novelists are smarter and more interesting. They're generally smarter and more interesting, but they're often very short. So it kind of cancels all the smart and interesting stuff out.

If you fall in love with somebody you're working with, fine, but wait till your project is over.

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

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.

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