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

I still consider myself a young actor, I'm 34; I still view it as the beginning of my career. You can get infatuated with acting in a way that makes you less an actor than an acting appreciator.

Usually the way I think someone is radicalized is through a personal experience. The thing about environmental activism is that we are all having a personal experience with our environment, whether we open our eyes or not.

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

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've always looked at the world as a place where people have done evil things. There are people in the world, for instance, that would describe Americans as evil.

I like working with a first time director. I'm more likely to work with a first time director than I am a second time director.
