It is often difficult to watch yourself onscreen, especially 60-feet high. As an actor, it is an uncomfortable experience.

I didn't want people to sit there and watch 10 minutes of film,and all they write about is 48 frames.

Every time I play in a movie, I never expect that it'll be huge. I don't like thinking about that, because it's so scary.

As a filmmaker, I've sat on the other side, and I've watched when people I know have a film, and it's doing really well, and people are talking about it in all the trades, and everybody is excited about it, and I've always thought, 'Hmm, what would that be like?'

That's what film can do in a way that TV and other long-form storytelling can't. It gives you this very immersive moment.

There's something about the impact of a big screen that means something to me, even though I realize almost every film is fated to be seen for a year in theaters, and then forever after on television.

If the movie is good then great, but if it's not then God, I feel so bad for that person with their face fifty feet tall, all blown up. Some people would be happy with that, that as long as their face was out there they're stoked about it. I'm not like that.

That's the power of film. If it's good, it can somehow make you feel connected to even the farthest thing from your own experience.

Something about being projected on a 70 foot screen makes you more attractive and appealing to the opposite sex, which is pretty scary.

You have twenty-one days to shoot a whole movie and sometimes you go into that thinking 'ugh, this could potentially be really, really difficult' and it turns out to be the most incredible experience.
