When I give over to somebody's vision rather than have an idea of what I need to do, it takes me to places I wouldn't have got to by myself. I'm always attracted to a strong director.

I pride myself on being fairly polite on a set so it's kind of a guilty pleasure to poke others on the set.

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.

The truth is I like the crazy ones better than the well-behaved ones normally because they tend to be the passionate ones. They never come after you if you're holding up your end. The only thing that's bad about an abusive director is that they bully the people they can.

I don't want people to know anything about me, because that's not important. I'm more interested in the me that takes shape through the characters.

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.

I love doing action and stuff; the problem is usually action movies are not that interesting. Also as I get older I feel like there's less opportunities for me.
