I'm interested in how people shoot because I have a very specific way of shooting and I'm fascinated by the way other people shoot films, particularly if they're smart and talented.

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

I'm actually one who will encourage directors to cut my lines.

Even The Impostors, as silly as it is, is a very intimate film, in a way.

This is the funny thing about Skype. No one is really looking into the camera. People always looking down because they're looking at the image. You wish the camera was there in the center.

I was always attracted to the past as a kid.

There is a joke that I use all the time. I say it to my kids. I used to say it to my wife. She'd be talking to me about something very serious and then I would just look at her and go "Where are you from originally?" And she would go "Humphhh! C'mon. That's terrible!"
