Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure

I'm not comfortable with walking the red carpet in a tuxedo and seeing all the women with their boobs pushed up and all the men dressed as penguins - particularly when the subject of your film is the nature of violence and humanity.

It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream.

The amount of financial and imaginative energy that's put into mediocrity is just amazing, which I find to be fundamentally offensive as a human being.

I want to prove a point. That point is, actors are artists, not narcissists necessarily.

But it's also another myth to think that you should be as tight as a drum and not have any frailties or fragilities.
