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.

In tragedy, it's hard to find a good resolution it's not black and white: it's a big fog of gray.

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.

Image
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.

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.

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.

It's a constant learning process - not just what you need to learn for the character or as far as good actors - but as an actor, there's no limit. Every time now, you're learning so, I think that's a good thing though.

Being actors is a strange job. To try to go live that out, it's a very strange thing to want to do when you step back and think about it.

I dont normally like getting dressed up, but when I go to events, I like to look put together. Ive got to say, getting in a nice suit feels good.

I love cereal. I eat several bowls a day, mostly a few late at night.

When somebody mentions that I did a play with George C. Scott, I'm like, it can't have happened. What was I doing on a Broadway stage at 11 years old? It's so far in the distance now.
Paul Dano
Image
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.

I like purple too. I looked up color psychology before doing any house painting, because I was curious what the colors I like mean. And purple is very royal and creative.

Michael Caine is so happy. Happy and healthy. I think he enjoys life. I think he's 82 now, and I have no clue if I'll be working at that age.

The less acting you have to do, the better, I think.

If you could call me buff, my version of buff was when I finished that film [Swiss Army Man].
