I like character-driven stuff. It doesn't matter, the size of the part.

I always find that it's when a script is not detailed, then I have to do more work as an actor.

Usually, I only get to work a few weeks on a movie, or I often don't make it to the end of the movie because I'm disposed of.

I didn't really like the aloneness of doing stand-up.

I talked with Quentin about where the character came from, and he told me Kansas City. I don't know how somebody talks from Kansas City, so I made him from New York.

I don't blame any director for wanting to do something more commercial. That's all part of the business. I certainly have done it, as an actor.

Really interesting things come because you don't know what the rules are, what you can and can't do.
