I was always raised on cowboy films, and then when I could start making choices about the movies I wanted to watch I found myself wanting to watch gangster films which were slightly more sophisticated than the baseline stuff that was in westerns.

I think there's a form of honesty, because I used to be very honest with the press, and then it backfired on me, and I understood it.

I just wish the crowd I was associated with was more passionate about what they were doing and less consumed with the commerce of the art form.

A relationship to me is never about the romance.

My mom is at my house every day, and she nags me about everything, especially hygiene.

If you're trying to learn how to act from a class, you're analyzing the teachers' movements and their intricacies, and it becomes like a pantomime of you wanting to be them, and that's wrong. Literature is an easier way to study acting, because then you can take any kind of spin. It's your own imagination, and your own version of it.

But this is a little different. This is the adult acting. This is a different crowd. It's more work and more good work. That's it. People will have their opinion regardless.
