I think every metropolitan city has its pockets of - that's what makes them great.

The majority of work I do is in independent films, where you're lucky if you have five takes.

I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.

I have to watch the news or my day is not complete.

I'll read a script maybe twice, but I'll think about the role more than I'll rehearse lines.

I'm obsessed. I've always needed to know what's going on but now it's a must.

I try to take off the rose-colored glasses and view it in all facets, but I probably would be lying if I didn't say that probably the way in for a film with me is the performance. But I have been on juries where you have to give Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography. So you do have to put on several different hats and I try to broaden my scope. And what's great is, when you're in a room full of people who are not your milieu, so to speak, you find yourself speaking in a way that you do discover a slightly discerning eye.
