The director I had most involvement with was Alex Rockwell. He gave me a lot of responsibility as an actor.

I could never have imagined the films I've done and the people I've worked with when I was starting out; I certainly did not have a career path.

I have a dresser, who literally is a guy who makes sure the tie is right. It's a little bit of a process. I could probably do it by myself, but it would take me three times as long.

My real training as an actor was when I started doing theatre.

I never want to feel like the way that I see it isthe only way. Sometimes mistakes happen and that's better than whatyou thought the scene could be. You allow room for the possibilities.

Communication is the key, and it's one thing I had to learn-to talk to the actors. I was so involved with the visual and technical aspects that I would forget about the actors.

I usually get freaked out if I'm in a situation where a lot of people recognise me at once.
