I haven't done many films. But with every movie, I try to showcase a different side of me through a character.

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

I'm just following my own art, and I just think that the only thing I can do to be a great artist is do the best job I can in whatever movie I do.

If there's anything that I've always said about myself is that to me, it's much more important for me to get to work with filmmakers that I've grown up loving and admiring.

I feel like I became an artist by default. I went to art college, but my interest was always more towards film than painting or sculpture.

I think I try to look at all my films and break them down because, at the end of the day, it's about creating characters that you like.

When I do film, I really take on roles and I take on characters.

The reason that I'm an actor, or an artist, is ultimately because I'm trying to paint a self-portrait, and the most complete and beautiful self-portrait that you can.

Film acting has been a very pure experience, because you have to give the purest form of yourself as an artist.
