Popularity Is The Slutty Little Cousin Of

I've Observed Over And Over That People Seem To Get A Much Deeper Sense Of Fulfillment Out Of Something They've Done As An Act Of Service Than Out Of The Things They Do For Themselves.

Sometimes Creativity Is A Compulsion, Not An Ambition.

People Wrestle Sometimes Making Movies, And I Think That Conflict Is A Very Essential Thing. I Think A Lot Of Very Happy Productions Have Produced A Lot Of Very Banal Movies.

A Lot Of People Ask, "what Do You Pull On In Your Own Life From Your Character?" In All Honesty, It's Not Something That Really Works That Way For Me. I Tend To Look At These Things As An Imaginative Process And A Challenge Of Imagination And Empathy, To Some Degree. I Get Much More Out Of Meeting People Who Have Lived These Lives Than I Do Digging Around In My Own Limited Experiences.

I Don't Think You Should Sit Around And Wait For People To Give You An Opportunity To Express Yourself Or Do Your Work, Or Whatever. Actors Have To Be Producers And Writers Have To Be Producers.
