Sometimes I say I feel more like a dancer than an actor, because there are things implied about being an actor that I don't really like. I feel more comfortable with the word 'performer'. I like being the thing. I like being the doer. There's a factualness to it. And then certain resonances happen out of how you apply yourself physically.

If you get stuck and it feels a little stiff, then you do have to mess it up to find it. But other times it's really written and you just stick to your guns and do it as elegantly and as concentrated and as committed as you can.

It's nice to go back with people that you already trust.

You have to lose yourself to find yourself.

Plenty of bad movies are very successful, and plenty of good movies are not. And distribution is so crazy, some films won't even get their day in court.

I aspire to be an instrument of the director. I'm happiest like that. The stronger the director, the more I'm willing to give them.

The director's very important to me, particularly when the director has a recognizable style.
