My mother was a dancer, so I like to use the body as part of the instrument of acting.

When you have 400 people watching you making a movie, it doesn't go where you want it to go. It's a lot of pressure.

I love it all. I don't want to go through my career with one hand tied behind my back. I love making kids happy. I love the midnight audience. I like intense dramas. And I like high-adrenaline action films.

To begin... To begin... How to start? I'm hungry. I should get coffee. Coffee would help me think. Maybe I should write something first, then reward myself with coffee. Coffee and a muffin. Okay, so I need to establish the themes. Maybe a banana-nut. That's a good muffin.

I really think it's important that my beliefs don't impinge upon what you get from the movie. It's your opinion that matters and it's far more interesting than mine.

Zoology has always been interesting to me. Nature is fascinating.

I came out of independent film, that's my roots. I used my independent film as a laboratory, and used what I could discover in that laboratory.
