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

You know, usually with movies there are periods, dark areas, where I might not be getting what I wanted out of a theme. I'll have to go over and over it again.

We've all got darkness inside us. And I've got quite a lot of darkness.

The darkness is really out there. It's not something that's in my head, just. It's in my work because it's in the world.

My movies are very often violent and dark, but there's a spectrum of light, and that light is coming from the women.

There is no such thing as darkness; only a failure to see.

Not every film I do is going to be like 'Selma,' but every film I do can be edifying, can be something that points toward I believe to be true. I'm not one to shy away from darkness in movies as long as there is light.

As an actor, I'm constantly striving to find the darkness in the lighter characters and the lightness in the darker characters.

I say there is no darkness but ignorance.
