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

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

A good actor's director, first of all, is prepared, so there's not an exorbitant amount of wasted footage.

Emotions are the natural result of striving for something. Every single scene has two or more people in it, and nobody wants the same thing, so they are negotiating this one way or another. The result of that negotiation will bring out all kinds of emotional stuff in you.

I think theater is powerful. The best experiences I had in the theater are more powerful than the best experiences I had in movies.

I loved Batman, don't get me wrong, but that kind of mindless violence is not good for young children.

When a director makes a mistake, people suffer. People suffer horribly sometimes.
