That's what's interesting about people. It can be funny, but when [John] Travolta got there and did [comic moments] you're like, "Oh! This is really funny." Or when Karen [Gillan] and Taissa [Farmiga] do something, I'm like, "This came out so much funnier."

I just really like seeing mundane stuff in movies. It's realistic.

The hardest animal was the vulture. But the horses were great, the dog was great [in Valley of Violence]. It was really easy.

I don't go to see movies to see plots. I'm not interested in puzzles like an Agatha Christie story.

It's a combination of yes - making a movie about the characters - and then, also, budget.

I think having funny characters is just one way of having three-dimensional characters.

You want to be able to say [to Ethan Hawke's character], "Dude, it's okay," but maybe it's not. Maybe he's not a good person. I don't know. That's the thing about people. There is no real good guy or bad guy [in A Valley Of Violence]. It's all context.
