I think it's more important to try and make a good film than give a good performance.

More quotes by Paul Dano
I approach every role from scratch.
Paul Dano
I would say that the emotional content of the film [Swiss Army Man] took me by surprise, and sometimes I would probably want to capture the unique tone of it.
Paul Dano
Of course I think it's a movie for everybody [Insane Farting Corpse], but that's probably just because it's a movie for me.
Paul Dano
Sometimes it's summer camp on location. So it's nice to have a little New York community of people you love.
Paul Dano
I love cereal. I eat several bowls a day, mostly a few late at night.
Paul Dano
Everything you do, every experience that you have, enlightens you a little bit or worsens you.
Paul Dano
The less acting you have to do, the better, I think.
Paul Dano
The only constant I can find is hard work.
Paul Dano
You try to get to know your character as best as you can before you start filming - whats written and not written.
Paul Dano
On set, the playground for the character, how much it takes varies. Is it like ballet, is it like jazz? The content always lends itself to the form, and it's really not mathematics.
Paul Dano
I'm really excited to share the movie [Swiss Army Man] with people, so I'm glad that people are seeing it. And I want them to, because I think it's a really fun movie to experience sitting next to people. It makes it funnier. It makes it more comfortable. It makes it sweeter.
Paul Dano
I feel like rumors get crazy and people blow up the whole internet with news. I feel like, once you're doing a job, you shouldn't talk about it.
Paul Dano
Reading the script [Insane Farting Corpse], by page two or three, I felt that way. I thought, I'm in. It was so beautiful and insane and funny and I wanted to see it happen.
Paul Dano
I remember going to the theatre when I was little and the lights going down and just getting really scared about what was going to happen up there.
Paul Dano
The first time I went to Daniel's [Radcliffe] apartment to just hang out before, because we're doing this crazy thing together, right away he said, Do you want to put your hand in my mouth so we can get used to this? And he was really ready to go. So we broke down any barriers pretty quick.
Paul Dano
I think there was a lot of working out the arc of how Manny [Daniel Radcliffe] talks. Scene to scene [in the Swiss army Man], if I would start talking a little too well, they would come in and say like, Hey, you need to [dial back] your ability to speak - things like that.
Paul Dano
One of my favorite films is 'Dumb and Dumber.' I'd love to do some really silly comedy someday.
Paul Dano
I try to leave my work at the door when I leave the set. It's almost like summer camp. You go in hard, then you leave, and it's done.
Paul Dano
My first thought about acting, growing up here in New York, was theater, and I feel like I need to force myself to go get my ass kicked in a rehearsal room and do one of those plays at some point.
Paul Dano
In tragedy, it's hard to find a good resolution it's not black and white: it's a big fog of gray.
Paul Dano
