I've been very blessed to work in some films that I'm very proud of.

Truthfully, I'm proud of each of my films in a certain way.

The one thing I'm proud of as a filmmaker is that people are entitled not to like my films - that's the privilege of the public - but I think I have my own imprint.

If you're in a film that you're proud of and you care about, then you're always happy to talk about it.

I am happy with all the films I've done. I have not become the victim of an image. I have managed to do different roles, and I am proud of that.

My stage successes have provided me with the greatest moments outside myself, my film successes the best moments, professionally, within myself.

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.

The movies I've made, I'm really proud of them. But the experience I've had is, people say to me, 'Oh my God, I saw your movie on HBO. It was actually funny.' Like, that's always the experience. It's a backhanded compliment.

I'm proud of all the movies I've made. They're not sequels, they're not franchises. And the reason I pick my films carefully is that I don't want to spit on my life. I like to think of myself as more than that.
