I Like Being Responsible For Myself

I Always Leave Disaster For Other People To Decide, Because Some Of The Things I Consider To Be Disasters Are Some People's Favorite Movies. And That's What I Like So Much, Is That You Never Know. Something Intrigues Somebody And Means Nothing To Somebody Else.

Obviously There Are Times With Acting When Exactly What Is Required Is Just Going Through The Motions, And When Doing Nothing Is The Best Thing. But At Other Times, You Have To Make That Leap Beyond The Immediate Environment Of People Putting Up Lights On The Set.

I Chose To Tell A Personal Story. When You Tell A Movie Like This That's As Emotionally Charged As This Is, It's A Risk. As One Of My Great Cinematic Heroes, Francis Coppola, Would Say, "if You Aren't Taking The Highest, Greatest Risk, Then Why Are You A Filmmaker?"

A Movie Star Is Someone People Look At And Go, 'i Want To Be Like That Person'. There's The Responsibility Of Desire. It's Not Something I'm Interested In Trying. I Would Fail Miserably At It, So Why Even Bother?

It Helps So Much Being On Location. It's Like The Difference Between Performing For The Rectangle Of The Camera Versus A World Being Created And Then The Camera Finds Things Within That. There's A Huge Difference In That, Because What It Takes Away Is Performance. You Don't Feel Like Performing. You're Just Kind Of Doing It. You're Existing.
