I have a hard time saying no if it's right. I don't say no to say no. I said no when I didn't have a pot to piss in. I still said no to big money jobs because they didn't make creative sense to me.

I like to play unpredictable characters, and I like to be unpredictable in what movie I'll do. I want to skip to work. I don't want to repeat anything. What the future holds, I don't know, but that's what I like. I'll take any risk there is.
