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

I have fun making films. I love making films. It's the only thing I know how to do. And I do it well.

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

I was really impressed with Naomi [Watts]. She was a producer, and she was doing things that I wasn't really aware of. The way she was able to switch from handling problems to shoot a really difficult scene, I think is a real testament to her true ability.

All these directors who do different locations forget that one room can be shot from a million different angles and a million different ways. When I direct a movie, I'm going to use that.

I don't have a lot of time to surf the net and see what everyone's wearing.

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.
