My ideal role would be the lead in a film with a director that I really appreciate and admire.

I’ve written a lot and brainstorm ideas, and I plan on pursuing them very soon.

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.

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.

I’d say a man is someone who is honest, strong-minded, moral, genuine, just a good human being.

I'm in a position where - I mean, not a lot of people are in a very fortunate position - where I kind of have the power to choose what I want to do in a way.

You would assume that a filmmaker should know how to edit, but pretty much every filmmaker I've worked with doesn't know how to edit.
