I'm Constantly Being Visually Stimulated.

Listening Is Harder Than Just Acting. Listening Is The Hardest Part.

I'm Not Tied To Budgets. I'm Tied To The Story That I Want To Tell, And How Much It's Going To Cost Is Up To Whatever The Economic Situation Of The Studio Is.

When It Crosses Over To White, That Means It's Going From Cool To Uncool. That's What Crossover Is.
