When things are really painful, I turn it into comedy.

I know virtually no one of my age who can remember a hug, or a smile from their father, or a 'Let's go play football.'

The films that I really enjoy now are films that are made by, for wont of a better word, mavericks.

I find the world more absurd now than I did when I was a kid.

If I'm at home on my own and the writing isn't going well, I clean my house. And there have been times in the past few years when my house has looked really clean.

Filmmaking is something I have to do. It's not something I particularly want to do.

In the acting game, you spend a long time fighting against what the director perceives you to be. And half the time the directors don't know.
