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.

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

Every director is different and they all have different styles. I've worked with directors who were very specific and they gave a lot of direction. The one thing about Michael [Haneke]that I think is interesting is that he really has a reason for everything he's asking you. If you challenge it, he is open for discussion but he has a clear idea of what he wants with reasons why.

Different films have different places in people's lives. I don't get to see a lot of films, so I want to watch films I learn from.

I'm really, really blessed. Not only am I blessed to have found that I love making films, but I'm also insanely blessed to be able to do it. I have to remind myself that when I'm complaining.

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

When people go at war they cheapen things.
