I'm interested in the impact my movies have on people and how it affects them, and what they like and what they don't like - and what they take away from it. What leaves an impression, you know?

To me, it's the kiss of death when you start winking at the audience as an actor. I just never liked it. I don't like it when we do monologues, looking into the character.

If I stay alert, then I can challenge myself, and by challenging myself, that helps me to stay alive and to hopefully take something away from the experience.

I just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical.

You just have to go with a good story and a script that you like and people that you like to work with.

I can't stand to see myself act. It just makes me cringe.
