After Hollywood, you know if people are interested in you or in the fact that you've been in a movie. You know who your real friends are.

I have always done films with friends rather than strangers.

People are goofy about the movie business, so you end up counting on friends you knew before you were successful. It is harder to make new friends because you are a little more cautious.

As a director, I think it is important to keep a space between yourself and your film. It's like you are in the movie, but at the same time you are watching it from the outside.

It became very clear to the director that it would be foolish not to use our friendship. I had tried to talk to him about it because all the relationships in the film are so, not negative, but antagonistic. There's not a lot of love going around.

It's a weird thing... putting your emotions out there for everybody to see while filming. I think it puts you in a kind of vulnerable state.

The less friendly your relationship is on camera, the more useful it is to be friends with them off camera.

On a film, you do your own work, you come together and meet on set, and then you shoot. It's great.

When people want to see your film, you're over the moon because you've actually made real contact. That's something very special.

Sometimes you become friends with the characters you portray.
