I Guess They Often Cast Me As

I Try To Attach Myself To People Who Really Inspire Me, And Directors Who Are Really Passionate. That Way, I Can Give Myself More Fully And Trust The Impulse Behind Why The Film Is Being Made, And I Can Be A Little More Irresponsible In Finding Out What The Character Is.

While We Have A Very Strong Popular Culture, The Roots Of American Culture Are Very Shallow, And We Put Emphasis On How A Movie Does As Far As The Box Office Goes. Many Years Ago, It Would Have Been Vulgar To Print Box - Office Grosses In The Paper. Now The New York Times Does It, And It's The Big Story For People Interested In Arts And Entertainment On Monday. Which Is Why Emphasis Has Shifted Away From Filmmakers And Fallen On Movie Stars And Business People.

Action Breeds Inspiration More Than Inspiration Breeds Action.

I Don't Worry So Much About The Audience. I Want Them Very Much To Be Involved And Enjoy The Movie, But I Try To Just Inhabit The Character In A Full Way, Where I Can Create A Personal Stake.

I Aspire To Be An Instrument Of The Director. I'm Happiest Like That. The Stronger The Director, The More I'm Willing To Give Them.
