I like fantasy. I like horror, science fiction because I can get avant-garde with those performances in those movies.

Some things are true whether you believe in them or not.

We've become so glorified in the movie-star system that it's become this artificial royalty. The truth is that we're circus clowns.

When I work, I really try to get absorbed in the character. Unless I want to do something playful with the camera, I'm not too worried about where the camera is or positions.

You get dinged for wanting to do a comedy, then wanting to do a big-budget action film, and then wanting to do an indie. But you can't let other people trying to label you get in the way of trying to do something artistically.

I try not to be proud. I try to actively attack pride.

I think I've spent more time in front of a camera than off camera. That's just the way it is.
