I'm always frightened away by movies that lower the bar on our endeavor to learn more about the crazy weird creatures that we are.

It's a very good thing for students also to be exposed to people who aren't film students or film scholars but who work in the world of film.

For the most part, I've stayed as far away as possible from high school movies. I just don't find them to be that relatable to everybody? They become like this: 'Look at that period of time. Isn't that interesting?'

Not every day where I'm from do people get a movie made about them.

Well, I think that a lot of times when you're working on a film, there aren't really opportunities to get to know all the people you have to work with.

There's probably a half-dozen movie actors I really like. But a lot of them just aren't that interesting.

When you aren't doing too many films, people find other things to write about you.

Because of the incredible reputation I have, people find me exciting to watch on film.

I get offered loads of unusual stuff. I just don't do loads because I like staying at home a lot, and I'm a little bit lazy. I don't get that thing of going from film to film that people do. It would drive me nuts, and that level of fame is quite scary.
