Every day's an adventure when I step out of my door. That's why I usually wear a hat and keep my head low.

I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it. Actually, when I did theater, I used to have a partner, and that was the way we used to write a lot of our sketches, through improvisation. So it's something I feel comfortable with.

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.

The trend now is to shoot in Canada because it's cheaper, and they don't care what the location is.

Casting is everything. Getting the person that you imagined is this character and then seeing what they bring to it.

In the beginning, it wasn't even a question of deciding I'm going to do independent film and not commercial films - I wasn't being offered any commercial films, and there wasn't an independent scene.

I suppose things are better now, but ... I don't know. People still hate each other, they just know how to hide it better.
