I think that when you decide to dedicate yourself to creative endeavors and surround yourself with people who are creative, you very quickly learn how hard it is to survive doing those kinds of things, not to mention make a living at them.

I like being like a chameleon who transforms himself with each role.

There's very few people - like Shakespeare - who, no matter what, were gonna do what they did. For the rest of us, there's a lot of events that have to happen in order for things to end up the way they are.

The performances had to be live. When you play it back, you can see if the hands aren't really doing the right thing, and then the whole magic falls apart.

I think it's good to be a little more fearless in saying what you feel. In not being scared of the repercussions of that.

Coen brothers movies are not always what life looks like but it's definitely what life feels like.

The hardest things to do in any art is to risk failure and put yourself out on the line.
