Granted, there are times when, for business reasons, you do something that's more mainstream. But even then, I try to find something that has a dark or subversive aspect.

There are a lot of good stories out there, but I haven't found too many great scripts.

The idea of doing something that you've seen a thousand times before doesn't appeal to me.

I know that when I grew up I was pretty sheltered, and didn't come to understand much about the world until I was in my really late teens and early twenties, and that process continues.

To be more involved and more aware is appealing to me.

People keep trying to make me a movie star but they just don't understand. I'm not a movie star, I'm an actor.
