There's always room. That's what the directors usually want. They want the performer to bring themselves and give what they have to give for the role. The smart ones allow that to happen because then it becomes even more organic within the performer's imagination. It becomes even more real. It's not always a given in other films, but when Gunn works, and we all work together in a collaborative way like that, it becomes a given that you bring it. It becomes a lot of fun.

Horror fans need horror, okay? They don't need little worms squirming around going down your throat. To them, that's not horror.

I learned how to turn it on and turn it off. You learn that in theater, too, but for film work, I learned from doing 'Henry,' I learned how to leave work at work and go home. There's always spillover. Actors speak of this.

You know how it is, somebody will see your work and like it and remember it, then decide to make it a role in their film.

Every time I was cast in a role, the director put a gun in my hand, so I figured I’d better learn how to use one. Then I found out I really liked it.

I already survived one apocalypse, I don't need another.

I don't approach a role by saying I'll be unsavory or unlikable.
