So many of us have our asses watching stupid reality shows, desensitizing our brains. Like, "Wow, isn't that dumb, but I'm so entertained right now! That's the stupidest thing I've seen in my life - give me more of it!" You know what I'm talking about. I turn on the television and I'm like, "This is so bad, but I cannot get my fucking eyes off of it." It's not good.

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.

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'm not prejudiced about what type of movies I'm in, what form they take or whether they're studio or independent. I just want to make films that are going to be good. The main reason is not to make money, although at some points it's really difficult when you're broke.

I think in some ways you learn more from the things you don't like than the things you do.

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

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