You have to lose yourself to find yourself.

When I was a kid I was very interested in the idea of the will, finding out what you're capable of. I liked those kind of challenges.

The truth is, if you're around long enough, you have a story about everyone. But it's best to keep your mouth shut sometimes.

Sometimes you make very interesting movies that aren't meant for everybody. But this is a capitalist society, so everything conspires to put value on whether it sells or not.

Usually when you meet with a director, just meeting them after you've seen something you're interested in, they say, "Oh I'd love to work together," and sometimes you never hear from them again.

I have some sort of affinity for compulsive behavior. The most interesting stories come up from the people on the outside.

For every role, you have to always find a different way to approach it, one that's specific and suits what the key is. Every role's a mystery. I think if you know what it is, you probably shouldn't even do it.
