Sure, you always put some of your own experience into a film.

I can do a film only if it excites me as an actor.

When I go into making a movie, personally, I don't try to bring other pieces of movies with me.

If you have a movie that doesn't strive to go to a certain emotional point, you can do anything and it will be fine and funny. But if you have something pretty emotional at its core, you have to make it right. You don't want it overwrought or unearned. Everything has to be moving towards this one thing.

Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything's okay. I don't make those kinds of movies.

When you make a movie, you can only make the movie that you would want to see.

Of course, if you're gonna make movies, you gotta make movies, and I'm not gonna say no to a good role.

You know, making a movie is a collaborative effort and sometimes all the ingredients don't work out. I know that every now and again I am going to make a movie that won't work.

I think making a movie is like drawing or creating an art piece. The artwork reflects part of your personality, but not all.

The only reason you make a movie is not to make or set out to do a good or a bad movie, it's just to see what you learn for the next one.
