I Want To Be Inspiring

As Time Goes On, I Will Play Characters Who Get Older: I Don't Want To Be Some Botoxed Weirdo.

I'd Prefer Not To Act In The Film I'm Directing. I Think, Though, As An Actor, You Do Learn How To Turn Things On And Off Quickly And Kind Of Compartmentalize. You Learn To Accommodate The Camera And The Other Actors, To Notice Where The Boom Is And Where You Mark Is, And Be Able To Repeat Something A Few Times.

As An Actor, I'm Always Playing Solitary Characters. But As A Director, I'm Always Making Ensemble Movies, Which Focus On Lots Of People's Lives And How They Intertwine.

My Definition Of A Friend Is Somebody Who Adores You Even Though They Know The Things You're Most Ashamed Of.

I Have, In Some Ways, Saved Characters That Have Been Marginalized By Society By Playing Them - And Having Them Still Have Dignity And Still Survive, Still Get Through It.
