I've definitely had the experience where I was pursuing someone for a long time that I just obviously did not connect with, so I was always, kind of altering myself for her. But then you realize it's just not worth it. What's the point?

I'm just trying to find a good project. Work with a good director, someone I really admire. Find a good role.

What you choose to do professionally is a reflection of yourself and I take that seriously as an actor. But even as a filmmaker, I take it even more seriously.

The idea of working with David Fincher or Paul Thomas Anderson or Wes Anderson or Scorsese or Spielberg or any of the guys I really idolize is a dream for me.

I love learning from the filmmakers that I'm working with, but more importantly, I love learning from the crew.

It's like, to me, acting is like a child walking in the park, the better the actor, the greater the playground he has.

As you get older, there are different types of roles in people's lives at certain ages.
