I had always done theater in extracurricular ways. I'd never been a drama major.

I think indie films are really important, because they show the studios and the audiences when they see them, great stories. Really interesting, small stories.

I think breathing is actually the key to a lot of opening up of other parts of yourself that you haven't used, for any job, but particularly in acting.

Every role sort of teaches you how to prepare for it.

I really enjoy working with younger actors. I just feel like we're all peers together.

I don't really see science fiction as fiction. I can imagine colonies on Mars and everything.

With Alien, because we always use a different director, each one kind of stands on its own. So I guess it's possible for them to make another one, but we have no plans.
