As an actor, you're constantly riddled with self-doubt. You are your own worst critic.

The fact is that you're never gonna believe any of the reviews, because the movie is to you what it is to you. No one's ever gonna sway you from what you feel about it.

Well, the thing about great fictional characters from literature, and the reason that they're constantly turned into characters in movies, is that they completely speak to what makes people human.

Actors are no strangers to self-doubt, fear, and rejection.

When you're playing a fictional character reacting to the real world, it's incredibly difficult and confusing and kind of messes with your values a bit.

We all do films believing in them completely, but sometimes, the audiences like what we like, and other times, they don't.

My films are very rooted in specific people's point of view. Some film-makers give a more global point of view, like God looking down at the characters.

I am very lucky: not very many writers can say they genuinely like the film of their book. However, I do.

Now, I love movies so much, but I find a lot of movies to be arrogant in the way they're kind of know-it-alls - they have perfect characters on the screen that know everything about themselves.
