I do like the idea of consequence and how our actions play themselves out, but I am completely scared of knowing what the future would be like. I would never go near a fortune teller, even though it's probably not even real. I just don't wanna know.
From Paul Dano
I feel like I have to be responsible for what I'm participating in or putting out into the world.
I go down to the dive bar around the corner when I go out. I don't go to the showbiz parties.
People think memorizing lines is hard, when that's the last thing you worry about. You get that done, and then you've got to worry about the internal stuff, which is the challenging part.
I used to write a lot of songs. I was an English major in college. I was a deluded poet for a year. Totally deluded.
Films can be entertaining without shying away from exploring something. They can be magical and have fantasy, but also can have enough reality that you can be really emotionally invested.
I approach every role from scratch.
I can obviously relate to a character who is an artist, because the creative process is a big part of my life.
Listening to hard rock on the subway doesn't work for me, especially modern hard rock. Driving in L.A. helped me to understand the appeal of that music.
Robert De Niro's sort of like a surfer: he doesn't really force anything. So if he catches the wave, or something spills out - to watch a guy be a force at what he does. He has a good worth ethic.
