Film is this incredible medium that allows us to feel empathy for people that are very different than us and worlds completely foreign from our own.

Every film that I have done has a special place in my heart.

I'm much more interested in living specific experiences in films.

I like doing movies that relate to people's experience.

When I was growing up, the top movies dealt with grown-up, complex emotions.

I want to do films I can relate to emotionally.

I've always had the perspective that roles come into my life when I need them most and sort of teach me lessons. The same can be true of films, films are released into society to aid in a lesson, inspire people, comfort people.

Most of the films that I've ever really responded to are ones that I feel were really involved in their times.

It's rare that movies can sort of capture the tone of life; movies always feel like they have to be one thing or another.

I love films that make you feel good when you come out and, in my opinion, there's not enough of them these days.
