I started working with James [Schamus] early on, and my role as an executive producer was more about being involved in the conversations of putting the film together. I didn't have to do much work because James is the most experienced first-time director you could imagine.

The film makers are the true movie stars.

When I receive a new role, I completely become my character.

I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous.

Growing up, I had a very normal relationship with my brother and sister. But, over time, they became my best friends, and now I hang out with them all the time. I'm very close with them.

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

I would add a little more love in the world. It's ridiculous, I know, but it is one thing I would do.
