I respond in the moment which is what makes me a good actor.

I don't know if I was ever looking for this kind of success- it came along as a by-product of concentrating on what I was doing.

I've always found it to be a privilege to make movies. It's a really expensive, creative medium. And people allow me to do it, and there are things that I can do as an actor that I couldn't do in any other walk of life.

People accuse me of being arrogant all the time. I'm not arrogant, I'm focused.

If I'm creating the composition, it's easier for me as an actor because I've just cut out the middle man. Because I've created the composition and now I'm in it, I already know exactly what I want to get out of it. So, bang!

The thing about films is you learn new stuff all the time. You think you can get to a point where you've got it all down. But then another, different situation arises.

Even bad men love their mommas.
