I like to use all of myself, and acting wasn't doing that.

The thing is, I'm a very practical filmmaker.

If you feel safe then you can go wherever you want to go as an actor.

I have consciously not taken the role of a gangster, which has been offered to me far too many times.

If you find that thing you love, it doesn't necessarily matter whether you do it well or not-you just need to do it.

What's great is when you're working with somebody with whom you have a connection, it's exciting because there's a shorthand and you trust each other and you have a good time together on the set and so you can go a little farther than you might normally because you're with somebody that you trust.

I write in the mornings. During my down time.
