One of the first signs of being depressed is that you lose interest in things. That's why I think it is important to stay passionate.

I'm at the point now where I know I'm doing something right when a movie gets mixed reviews, because then I'm not in the box. I don't want to make it too easy for people and I don't want to make it too easy for myself. I want to try something unusual.

I care about the connection with the audience. Film is such a powerful medium. Movies can change the way people think.

I'm very impressed with 'Drive.'

Just because you're a man doesn't mean that you can't raise your kid. I think that families should stay together, but if you are a single father, don't give up no matter what they say.

I've gotten pretty good at leaving characters on the set. I go home and try to relax and regroup and be ready for the next day.
