As an actor, I tend to enjoy going to the dark side.

It's always been said that comedy comes mostly out of the dark side anyway.

I understand why creative people like dark, but American audiences don't like dark. They like story. They do not respond to nervous breakdowns and unhappy episodes that lead nowhere. They like their characters to be a part of the action. They like strength, not weakness, a chance to work out any dilemma.

I seem to gravitate toward the dark side of things when it comes to directing. I love action, but I love the drama as well.

Gosh, it's so fun to do a movie where there's nothing dark happening in it.

I like the opportunity to play characters who have these dark sides but make the audience empathize with them. You want them to think there is some kind of sweeter, softer side to it.

We manufacture a culture in the movie business, and whatever we put out creates a dark side and a bright side, too.

I turn down a lot of movies because sometimes they glamorize violence or the darker side of sex or criminality.

We're kind of the comic relief of this movie because most of the stories are very dark. And that's why these plays were so great, because it's such a dark, dark universe that it becomes funny because it's just too pathetic.
