Personal Quotes:

“I don’t want to make movies for kids, and I don’t want to make movies for adults either.”

“Acting is such a personal thing, which is weird because at the same time it’s not. It’s for the consumption of other people. But in terms of creative outlets and expressing yourself, it’s just the most extreme version of that that I’ve ever found. It’s like running, it’s exertion. When you reach that point where you can’t go anymore and you stop and you take a breath, it’s that same sort of clearing of the mind.”

“A lot of actors think that what we do is so important, like we’re saving people’s lives or something.”
