I want to make movies that people talk about when they leave the theater, that aren't clear-cut, but effective and fulfilling in some sense.

I learn so much more in an ensemble movie.

Tarantino's movies, I really enjoy, certainly, and when I was 19 and 20, I was really into them.

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

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.

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.

I only want to make movies I want to see. That may mean my career is somewhat limited, but that is my version of integrity. No matter how it performs or how it's received, I can be okay with it.
