People are sheepish when they approach me.

The idea of being in a hugely successful movie that I don't like would be just as bad as being in a film that I love that no one sees. I wouldn't want the kind of success that felt cheap or that I didn't own.

The point is to expand the scope of what a movie can possibly mean or be, to get people involved because they're artistic or understand the point of the material, not just because they fit a certain bill aesthetically.

Tarantino's stuff in its inception was all about finding a way for him to break into Hollywood.

I have three sisters and I've always wanted a brother, so I was really interested in that notion.

A lot of producers cookie cut movies one after another, but I'll be a little more careful, and have the opportunity to be, because I have the acting career to subsidize the producing.

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.
