At Columbia There's No Performing Arts Department,

As An Actor, No Matter What, You're At The Whim Of So Many Other People All The Time.

I Was Trying To Figure Out Where My Intellect, If I Really Have One, Where It Fit. And So I Was Searching. I Really Didn't Know Who I Was Or What I Really Wanted To Be, And In That Search, Like I Think You Do As An Actor, You End Up Trying To Define Whatever That Is, And I Sort Of Said, "oh Well, Searching Spiritually In A Way Is Interesting, And Eastern Religion Seems To Be About A Search."

A Separation Is Another Film That I Think Is Extraordinary, And One Of Those Things That Feels Like It's From Another Planet, Much Like Terrence Malick's Movies Did: At A Certain Point, You Feel Like He's An Alien From Another Planet Telling Us And Looking At Us And Showing Us How We Are. I Also Really, Really Love Jerry Mcguire.

I Like That When You Create You Really Do Create With A Very Small Group Of People, And In That Space, Before It Goes Out To All These People, That's What I Love.

I've Become Obsessed With Learning Other Languages In Movies, Because I Was Like, Since I Was Like, But I Learned How To Box So Why Don't I Just Learn Another Language For A Movie?
