I'm not technical.

I'm incredibly lazy!

I always have the fear that, if I don’t commit 100 percent to my work, then it’s gonna suffer.

For as long as I’ve been making movies, I really don’t know a lot of the technical side. I mean, I’ve actively and consciously tried to avoid learning that stuff. I just want to be open and receptive to what’s happening in the moment, and I don’t want to force anything.

Whether you think a film will affect society or it’s plain entertainment, it’s all excellent, it’s all noble.

For me, I’d rather have an intense experience than not.

Every single movie that I’ve ever done has affected my life; I always feel more changed by a character than I affect them or change them, always. I mean, that’s just kind of the way it is.

I’m like the kid that crams for tests and never remembers anything.

I think the day that I become comfortable doing interviews and going on talk shows is the day that I don’t know what it is to be a human being anymore.

I don’t know why I always get to play these guys who have few redeeming features. But don’t knock it. Villains are much more fun.
