If you think you're going to be up for an Oscar, you schedule your moviemaking.

A lot of films come out before they're finished.

I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you're really going about it the wrong way.

Making a film, every film, is a big gamble, large or small. The more that you do it, the more you're aware of that.

There's a level of sophistication of filmmaking that's mind-boggling. Anything you need for your movie, there's an establishment that can make it happen really fast.

When you work on a movie, especially an independent movie, it's a lot of work to make it! It's not just our job as actors - so many people are working so hard, and even the littlest movie takes a lot of work.

I'm the only person who's ever opened the Oscars or done a spot on the Oscars without a script and having it on autocue.

Very, very rare that you do a job knowing that the audience is desperate for you to do that job. Most films you make don't get released, is the fact.

A film set is really delicate and people treat you very very well if you're an actor because they want you to be as comfortable as possible for you to do your work, but it really is just one in a team of many and usually 150 people.
