I think my audience is smart. If there's a way to be entertained and get things out - real things, not stupid moral crap - that's the best.

Right now is a very interesting time because of the digital cameras, and the fact that you can edit anywhere. It's a great time to be a filmmaker, is a great time to be starting off.

There are directors who, their direction is high, but then when you challenge it, it crumbles. They can't back up what they're asking.

I think that it's important not to take [acting] too seriously. It's all pretend. It's a strange job.

From where I started to where I'm at right now I'm loaded in retrospect to the opportunities that I have. As far as money and the scheme of the world, I don't cash in. I do films because I'm sensitive and maybe stupid, and that I feel like I'm going to have fun on and feel like I'm going to have a good experience with. It's not about punching in and selling soap.

Acting is really scary, but it's also challenging, fun, hard work. There's always an element of improvisation with every actor, even when something is really scripted.

Anything that you [as an actor] can change about yourself for a part is helpful.
