It's hard not to get depressed when you pay attention to the world and how strangely and corrupt the people in it sometimes behave.

Each time I make a movie, it's like a paid scholarship to a different university course.

It's always interesting to play a character that obviously has a secret.

I like a twisted sense of humour. On 'A History of Violence,' David Cronenberg and I would be doing the grimmest scenes and laugh a lot.

To find a good story, you’re generally going to find it in independent or lower budget movies... I wouldn’t mind doing a big budget movie if it had a great story.

I think every family is dysfunctional, and some manage to control it better than others.

I take my work seriously, but it's not the only thing that exists in the world.
