I'm playing somebody who is a recovering drug addict who got out of prison. It takes place in 2 weeks-the 1st 2 weeks I'm out of prison.

I would like to do a big movie that many, many people see but I just know I would be miserable if it didn't have something to it.

Acting is really important to me, so I think it would be really hard for me to do something I didn't believe in.

You have a right to your opinion about the work that you're doing. An artist is as equally important as the director. If you believe that, you can work in any circumstances.

Every actor has to find space where they are free, in order to do good work.

Sometimes I'll read things in the script and think, "That's not how humans behave," or "I don't understand how to do that role and make it seem like I'm not some kind of strange alien or on a sitcom." I don't get it, and when I feel that way, I have to listen to my instinct. My initial instinct does lead me in a direction that I can trust.

You're not going to do good work if you're not choosing something because it inspires you.
