I remember being very influenced by 'Taxi Driver', and also Tommy Lee Jones in 'Coal Miner's Daughter' a little bit.

I had those kind of parents where I watched all of these very sophisticated movies: 'Five Easy Pieces', 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'

My parents were both actors my dad sort of quite early on. My mother acted for a while, and now she's a painter.

I think people are happier when they have structure, you know? You realize that as you get older. You have to have rituals and structure.

I was certainly naïve about the judicial system in America. There's a lot of people who are in prison who are innocent. The system is very flawed.

Good acting is good acting, however you learn it. Some people who haven't studied are amazing. Some people like Leonardo DiCaprio are naturally gifted - he's learned technique by working with people early on.

I did some martial arts training for 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,' since the character was an assassin.
