To me, one of the main things that a director does is create the tone of his movie.

I always think change is important in a character. The most dynamic choices that you can make for a character are always the best ones.

I tend to lose my performance energy the longer things go on for, so I'm always best on the very first take.

You want to do something, you want to have the bravery to do something original. And there will always be people who are like, the classicists who are like, 'No, but it's got to have this.' In life, there are people like that attached to every single thing that there is. These are the same people that are like, still playing vinyl.

Four hours of makeup, and then an hour to take it off. It's tiring. I go in, I get picked up at two-thirty in the morning, I get there at three. I wait four hours, go through it, ready to work at seven, work all day long for twelve hours, and get it taken off for an hours, go home and go to sleep, and do the same thing again.

If all the circumstances of acting are made to easy, then there's no grain of sand to make the pearl.

Im okay with being unimpressive. I sleep better.
