My first movie was totally improvised.

I try to imagine the scenes as I'm writing them as if I were watching them play like a film.

The best scene is the last great scene I did.

When you're in that scene, you really wonder if this is all you're ever going to be. You know how vile and filthy you are inside.

Most of my favourite moments in film have been when I've had an opportunity to say something from scratch, something original, whether I jotted down a few lines or it came out in improvisation.

Do you remember a scene with Ryan and Ali playing in the snow? Well, that was improvised.

It's one thing to plan and imagine what you want on a film, but when you actually arrive and survey the scene, there's a moment of, 'Oh my God, what was I thinking?'

I love more than anything looking at a movie scene by scene and seeing the intention behind it.

The part of Mike Wallace drew me to the movie because I thought, what an outrageous part to play.
