Everybody always talks about the science fiction genre, in particular, which always makes me think about people in spaceships. I can appreciate that, but that's not really where I think my dramatist aspect lies.

I want do a Mandarin language movie. It'll probably be the next movie I do after the one I do next.

When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, 'no, I went to films.'

I surprised myself, that I was in the tissue of the character enough, that I could actually come up with something that I didn't actually feel or didn't believe.

I just realized that I need to be a director - for two reasons. One, directors were already my heroes at this point. I wanted to; when I wanted to be an actor I wanted to work with this director. Not work with this actor, I wanted to work for this director.

I was trying to do like a spaghetti western but using World War II iconography.

My mom took me to see Carnal Knowledge and The Wild Bunch and all these kind of movies when I was a kid.
