Film is our literature, so we should tell stories that are apropos of our culture, in that we can learn something about ourselves.
The film 'Tapped' illustrates quite clearly how we've been getting 'soaked' for years by the bottled water industry.
The way I see it, when I go out as an actor, it should be on a type of film I'm never going to do as a director.
To me, it's a very moral film. If my son were a teenager now, I would drag him to see it.
Fundamentally I feel that there is as much difference between the stage and the films as between a piano and a violin. Normally you can't become a virtuoso in both.

I think I'm more bonded, emotionally and in a craft sense, to films that tell extraordinary stories about extraordinary destinies.

I don't see why it's such a stretch for distributors, buyers, and studios to put cartoon characters into adult situations on film.
'The Assassination of Jesse James' remains one of my favorite films that I've done. You know, it's still labeled a loser.
I never talk about auditions. Even if I've got the role, I won't tell people until we're literally filming it.
I did a lot of short films online, so I come from that background where a lot of people see your stuff.
That is the thing I'm most grateful for in this industry to be able to spin in those different mediums, with television, film and the stage - at this stage of the game.
In most horror films, you don't really get to understand why this character is the way he is.
John Barry was the first film composer I was aware of. As a teenager I owned several of his Bond soundtracks.
In my sort of young, idealistic mind, I was just like, 'Well, it's either theater or film for me, and that will be that!'
