I have been very lucky to have final cut in all my films; everything that is wrong in them is my fault.

Very rarely have I had the opportunity to say lines which I would have said even if I wasn't working in a film.

When you see a finished film, it's very rare that it exceeds your expectations.

Also, if you watch the film once, there are lots of things that you won't get because there are punch lines in the first act, the setup to which isn't until the second act.

Sometimes you see a movie and you can really feel that it's an actor putting in a performance. Someone said 'cut' and they're back in their trailer having a coffee or getting their hair done.

I've realized I have to be very careful in what I say. I speak my heart out. Such honesty is not appreciated in the film industry. Instead, it is twisted and distorted. A lot of what I say is lost in translation.

Once you sign on as an actor, you know, you don't go to the editing room, you don't see how they cut, you don't see how they score, you don't see how they cast the rest of the movie.

Film line is all about chance. I don't think much, I just like to take chances.

I've cut myself out... I've cut scenes out that I was in and that's when you realize that you've got to make the best movie you can.

If you are going to do a film properly you have to give yourself completely to it.
