One of the things I like about a character: I always think it's fascinating when a character can turn on a dime and go from one emotion to another. I like watching that.

I cast unusual people in my movies.

Art and resistance are great together. That's what art's made for. Look at Vincent van Gogh: He didn't cut off his ear because he was selling well.

I've done performances in movies that I was immensely proud of and the movies didn't take off like a rocket at Cape Canaveral, it didn't take off.

There's always the standard six people you can hire that have played all these villains in Hollywood. Instinctively, when they come on screen, you know what's going to happen. You don't know the story, but you know what they do.

A lot of alliteration from anxious anchors placed in powerful posts!

As an actor, if you're just sitting and staring and you don't know who you are in your own mind, it's vacant. And sometimes the camera is an X-ray machine, it can pick it up.

I'm not Elvis. I don't get chased by paparazzi.

Be generous and you can be the best person who ever lived.

I've always been in the middle of making my own movies, so taking acting jobs that take me away from that has been impossible.

I'm not interesting enough on my own that you'd want to see a film about me.
