There's something really vulnerable about playing something that you like for someone. You don't know what their reaction will be.

When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.

I'm a huge proponent of therapy and analysis, but it's something that, in a nonprofessional way, can be abused.

Other people have worked with big studios and maintained control over their movies. I see no reason why it wouldn't work for me.

I like to try to shoot in the city in a way that allows the city to go about its business while we're shooting, and that's always a challenge because unfortunately people on the street don't know not to look in the camera or interact with the actors.

I read all the time. Sometimes I get asked if I've thought about writing a novel.

I do think it's a very good way to describe what a great actor does. You're both acknowledging the authority of the director and the necessity of the actor to push back and find their own voice.
