I try to create as many circumstances outside of set that help me fall into character when I get onto set.

Growing up, I didn't have television. My dad would make up stories and tell me stories, so my imagination ran wild. When I did see films, which was very few and far between, that was such an interesting medium that was so new to me. It wasn't something that was just part of my life, so it was really appealing and so different that I enjoyed that.

What I've realized is that when I walk into a club, I don't feel good, I feel uncomfortable. I wonder what to do, I look for my drink... it's not necessarily an enjoyable experience, so why would I put myself through that?

I read an interview with Mark Wahlberg, and he was like, ‘I might read a script and love it, but it’s all about the filmmaker.’ I think that’s a good lesson for me.

I like books that are funny, but that aren't trying to be funny. I like situational humor.

To sit down at a computer every day and write a script is commendable. I don't have the patience for it, but I have some fantastic ideas.

People make up rumors and put them on the Internet.

I think writing is such a great talent, and if I was better I would love to be a writer.
