I don't like things about serial killers. There's so much serial killer information out there in documentaries constantly. A lot of it's just sort of gratuitous or it's almost like pornographic, really. There's no reason for it being shown.

As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.

It's different if you're a painter. You can hidethe ones that don't work. You can't do that with movies. They tellthe story of who you are at the time, and that's the wonderful thingabout it.

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

I'm not saying they won't be bigger projects someday.

I love directing - it's always so involving, so challenging.

Every character, no matter who you play, at times is pretending to be somebody else. People have a public face and a private face.
