I never was that boy who loved gangster films, but when I was growing up, I was obsessed with the detective Dick Tracy. It was one of my favourite movies as a kid, and he really inspired me. I would have loved to be part of that golden age of Hollywood in the 1940s. It made me want to become an actor.

I turned 30 and everyone told me I would feel different and I didn't. So I thought I'd move to New York.

If you're making a movie about the effects of time, you kind of have to engage time as the main character.

I went through puberty in a theme park. I'm grateful. That place was a landscape to me. I had adventures every day.

I'm waiting to get old - I think old guys with tattoos look good.

I think about death a lot, like I think we all do. I don't think of suicide as an option, but as fun. It's an interesting idea that you can control how you go. It's this thing that's looming, and you can control it.

I feel there is something nice about not talking. Like you can say more by actually saying less.
