My best experiences with movies have come when I didn't know what to see.

I kind of realize that I have a tendency to choose the kind of films I watched when I was a kid and would go home and pretend with my friends that we were in those movies after we saw them.

When I watch a movie myself, I want to forget that I'm watching a movie, and I want to be inside the movie. That's the kind of experience I want my audience to have.

As a viewer, I love watching movies. There has to be an emotional connection.

I sometimes like to watch a good, dark, disturbing movie.

I did three movies in a row, and that was horrible. It was a horrible experience for me.

Usually when I am in a movie that is about to come out, if people don't love it, that is fine - I can handle it.

If you go to a movie and it's a great experience, the experience at the end of it is always like this sadness that it's over, that your time with these characters is finished. There's almost like an achy feeling that I have when I go to a movie that I love and it ends.

Sometimes you read a script, and you just think, 'Wow, I would love to go and tell that story, and I don't even care what happens to the film, I would just love that experience.' And often, that mentality makes a great film.
