I learn so much more in an ensemble movie.

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.

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.

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've made 30-plus films over 20 years. And in my opinion, five of them are good.

At 27, it's great to get to a place where I'm not an actor for hire anymore.

I'm really interested in having a studio one day and being a filmmaker.
