We must admit that it is quite common that people do have affairs with their leading ladies and men.

I was a dog in a past life. Really. I'll be walking down the street and dogs will do a sort of double take. Like, Hey, I know him.

I feel like a lot of the young actors that are just coming up are really good. I think directors are directing better.

I'm a firm believer that character is highly overrated. Character is a trick that we do with the audience's collusion.

You should know the lines, be prepared, get sleep, and have the script analyzed so you're ready to rock and roll.

The only reason an indie gets made is because someone has a burning passion to do it and won't take no for an answer, as opposed to a big film, which is like a train that starts rolling down the tracks and nothing can stop it.

All modesty aside, I think I'm good at reading scripts. The way I read a script is as fast as I can, all in one sitting, and I don't read many of the stage directions. I only read enough stage directions to let me know where I am, because they're always so verbose and mostly horseshit. So I only read the dialogue, which allows me to see the movie in my mind's eye in real time.
