Most actors have a process that they can go through, that they rely on, or that they've discovered, and that can evolve from project to project.

I want to make movies that I want to see, and what I miss and I'm not seeing.

I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.

I do know that people tend to do their best work when they're challenged and stimulated by their peers.

When I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless, I didn't have any money and I was living in my car. I wasn't averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?

Sharing the same vision for what's on the page is always a good idea. The director's job is to establish what that is and make sure that everyone sticks to it when it comes down to actually executing it.

I don't like to stick to one formula. That gets boring. I get bored, so I want to try different ways of getting inside something.
