Stephen King writes a lot of things that are really charming and quirky, and that are more ironic than horror.

To a certain extent. I'm a fan of rehearsal on the day [of the shoot], more than getting together a week beforehand.

A good director is very well prepared, and knows exactly how he's going to cut the film, so the shooting is as efficient as possible.

I do want to do TV, but I'm looking to be a creator, writer, and producer, and perhaps I could be a recurring character. Do 10 shows a year, something like that.

When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.

I'm getting bigger roles, and I'm on location more, and I have a wife and family. I'd rather work less, and I've started to implement that. It was either that or my wife would break my heart.

All that back-story stuff doesn't help. What you get paid for is to stand toe-to-toe with the other actor and get him to do your will.
