My Dad Was A Surgeon, My Mom

I Don't Think People Are Interested In My Personal Life. I've Never Had A Hollywood Life. I've Always Been A Worker.

I Have Some Sort Of Affinity For Compulsive Behavior. The Most Interesting Stories Come Up From The People On The Outside. They Don't Waste Energy Marching To The Same Drummer Most Of Us Do. It Gives Us An Opportunity To Look At Things In A Different Way, Which Is The Purest Thing Cinema Can Do.

I Like The Idea Of Sitting In A Theater With A Bunch Of People. With Technology Now, People Are Getting More And More Isolated. I Like The Community Coming Around The Story. You Don't Have That With A Dvd. People Go Home, They're Tired From Work, They Can Turn It Off. It Doesn't Make You Commit The Same Way, If You Can Control The Movie. More Difficult Movies, It's Too Easy To Turn Them Off. All The Time, I See Movies I Know If I Had Seen It On Dvd, I Wouldn't Have Hung With It. If You See It On The Screen, You Hang With It And It Pays Off Better Than A Movie You Can Easily Sit Through On Dvd.

The Truth Is, If You're Around Long Enough, You Have A Story About Everyone. But It's Best To Keep Your Mouth Shut Sometimes.

I Try To Attach Myself To People Who Really Inspire Me, And Directors Who Are Really Passionate. That Way, I Can Give Myself More Fully And Trust The Impulse Behind Why The Film Is Being Made, And I Can Be A Little More Irresponsible In Finding Out What The Character Is.
