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

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

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 just don't want to repeat the same thing over and over again, so I'm always looking for something that's going to be challenging and make me nervous every time I start a project.

You're not really just a filmmaker that makes a movie good most of the time. It's everybody involved; it's a collective effort.

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

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