I'll walk through fire to do what I do because the movie business, when it's right, is the coolest art form ever invented.

I like to believe that everyone is born with the same skill set, and that it is the influences that one comes upon. What he hungers for is definitely going to be affected by what he got or didn't get in those years when he was forming his psyche and his values. So I think villains are made.

I think now that I'm in the autumn of my life, and I'm getting a chance of having an overview and looking at the shape of how things happen, when things happen, why things happen, I think it was fitting that I spent most of my early career doing mask work, because I just don't think I was that comfortable in my own skin.

My self-confidence didn't come from my appearance, it came from other things that I did. But certainly not my appearance.

I expect that everything I do will be not watched or not seen. That way, I'm never disappointed when I become flooded with that reality.

I'm fully aware that things that resonate and become real hits are the exception to the rule, so much so that I've wired myself for failure.

I never direct myself, because I don't like working with me. I would punch me in the mouth if I had to take my direction.
