I was about to move out of my apartment because I was so broke. I'd sort of made a pact with myself that I wouldn't take a job unless it was interesting to me, and I became broke very fast.

In a weird way scientists understand things on a higher level but it takes a lot of dedication and a lot of time.

I'm always trying to work on scripts. I'm pretty selective. Sometimes maybe too much because I'm broke .

I've worked with a lot great directors who have huge resumes, but I'm really trying to be active in my career in supporting the new generation of cinema. I like taking some time to try to support and be a part of that.

A kid now can practically record a song or edit a short film on his way to school. I think that will produce, perhaps, more less-interesting things - or you'll have to search more to find the interesting things. But I also think it's exciting.

When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.

It sounds cliche, but success is your friends, your family, what you do, and if you're happy when you wake up.
