I feel like I'm a good actor, but I wouldn't call myself a gifted actor.

I certainly didn't think of myself as gifted. The standards for being gifted in my environment were if you were good in Little League or if you were good in football.

We've all watched hundreds of movies from characters' points of view that are not our own. That's part of the gift movies give us.

You're gifted to do something.

I think a smart person today realizes that you have to be part of the art films that are done just for the sake of the art.

I've been fortunate, but I'm also not very precious about making sure I'm the star of a film.

I don't make films to win prizes. I make films to make films.

I've actually been given a great gift. When I walk into an audition with a director, I'm carrying no baggage. They haven't seen me in anything, even though I've done nine films.

Being gifted needs courage.
