There are far more good actors than there are jobs for them, so it's a big question of luck.

I love making movies, I love trying to make them as good as I can, but I feel like sometimes the marketing and publicity around the movie, becomes the most important part of it.

The script for 'Infamous' was so poised between tragedy and comedy. It's a dream part. One reads those scripts with a sense of melancholia. When you read a script that good I remember thinking, 'Oh, this script is too good. They'll never give it to me.'

Often jobs are un-turndownable even before you read the script. You go, "Well, I have to do that."

I didn't sound anything like Capote at the screen test. It was more like Bob Dylan. In his early years. With the flu.

You can't deny reality just because you can't explain it.

There's not a huge pile of scripts at home. It's what happens to be on the table at that moment with your availability. And then you have no control over when these things come out.
