Trees Lounge is based on my own life. Both my parents like the movie. My father, of course, thinks it's a masterpiece.

I had a magic kit. I never really followed through on it, but I had my phase of wanting to do it, sure.

It's always fun to get to do independent film because I believe that that's the life blood of film. It's about writers and directors who truly have their own vision, and that's hard.

I never made a daring rescue, which is the story people want to hear. I did go to my share of fires.

I don't think about the characters I choose to play, analytically or consciously.

When I was in pre-production for Trees Lounge, I was hearing the cinematographer talking with the production designer about colours and this and that and feeling like I was losing control.

Whenever you do something that is in a continuous take, and something that we're not used to doing, because it was all in the details of if you don't make one move seem natural it can give away all of it.
