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.

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

I can't relate to 99% of humanity.

I don't tend to think of the characters i play as losers. I like the struggles that people have, people who are feeling like they don't fit into society, because I still sort of feel that way.

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.

My greatest hope was to get discovered as a comedian and get on a sitcom.

I've certainly worked with really great directors who haven't acted.
