I have a tendency to say 'yes' to a script or no to a script. Not 'yes' based on a rewrite.

Here are the good things about independent films: They do the more interesting, chancy scripts. They're run by love.

At the end of the day, what actors really want to do is act a lot and not wait around in the trailer.

I think I've been in situations where they looked at me and just see some rich white guy - they don't see me at all.

I've always felt it's the directors purview to say what; it's the actor's purview to say how. It's not good for an actor to have the big picture in mind - it bollocks you up. An actor's purview is the tiny little... We measure our performance in seconds.

I love making movies, I love the differentness of it, I love writing. But I've always liked television. I grew up on television.

Ninety percent of the preparation we do as actors is just jive. It doesn't do anything.
