I live in the energy and rhythm of the character. To some degree, that's true of every actor I've worked with.

I run a fast pace on my sets, man. I like the energy of the scene to be the energy on the set. I think it affects the actors, and I think it affects the crew. There's that sensation like you're really shooting it for real, like in a documentary.

I like to go with the energy because when you ignore it that's when you start doing things wrong.

It was important to have a similar energy in my performance. To make the character too different would have just been about my ego because it didn't need to be drastically different.

My tendency as an actor is, when there's a certain energy, I feel a challenge to match it, to come up to that plate and play on the same level.

I would say that the energy on set is always the energy of the director because he's the boss.

I always do whatever is best for the character.

I have always had a certain rhythmic approach to my work.

I try to manage my time to conserve energy.

I direct with energy. I believe in energy. I think energy is an electric thing in actors. I try to inspire, encourage, and make choices with lots of energy. And truth. I'm big fan of truth and being funny. I like leading 50 people into battle every day.
