Sometimes it's a character you want to play or a story you want to tell. Sometimes it's just to pay the bills.

I just like a good story. I want the story to be good and I want the character to be different than the last one I played. That's not always possible, but that's what I want.

I always choose my projects for the script or what the director want to tell with that story. And if I like the story.

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn't matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing.

I do a film because I like the story and I want to give life to a character - I don't necessarily have to agree with the director.

What writer wants to make compromises with story? Story is the only reason you're in it.

I always like to play roles where I either love the character or think that it's a story that I can tell better than anyone else. There are always reasons for me to do whatever I do.

I like good stories. Quality products and character are what's important. Even if the script isn't that strong, if I challenge myself with a great character, I'll go for it.

If you let the plot be determined by what you feel is in the character's mind at that point, it may not turn out to be a very good play, but at least it will be a play where people are behaving in a kind of truthful way.
