I rely on my directors, a lot. I love being directed.

It's terrifying to be the lead. There's a moment of excitement, and then pure terror.

I'm pretty squeaky clean. No big tragedies in my childhood or adolescence or adulthood. I've had a very easygoing, simple life.

I'm hooked on Polanski's films, his psychological thrillers. I love 'Rosemary's Baby,' I love 'Repulsion.'

I do love directing. I'm only comfortable working in the independent film arena for a very small budget where I have creative control and I can put my stamp on it.

Sometimes I attract roles that are necessary either for personal growth or enlightenment.

As an actor, you're sort of the court-appointed lawyer for the character.
