I want to be a good actor more than anything - someone you can respect.

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 appreciate film actors who respect the film making process.

I would love to shoot on film, but you can't really shoot a lot of footage on film, and you can't print a lot of it.

I got into acting to get my foot in the door for film-making.

I have a hard time watching myself.

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