I try to shave at night so my skin has a chance to settle by the early morning call-time.

You have to know what you're shooting. Don't just make your movie in the editing room and just get everything you can on the day.

I don't concentrate on if a moment is scary or not. That's not my job.

I've always had good relationships with directors. I'm one of those people where, if there's a good idea coming from the sound guy, I'll take it. Filmmaking is a collaborative effort, whether it's a first-time director or it's Mike Nichols. I think that's the standard that the great ones set.

When you're playing the good guy, you want to find the dirty parts - and when you're playing the bad guy, you want to find the vulnerability.

You never want to judge your character.

I did have Skidz overalls. Remember Skidz, those baggy plaid pants that look like pajamas? So I did rock overalls, but not in purple velvet. I couldn't find those.
