“It’s great when people appreciate your work, but I don’t know how seriously to take it.”

It’s not like I crave attention all the time.

I bet they didn’t tell you that was in the gift bag.

I think part of what makes movies special is that it is a relatively intimate environment and it’s pretty short-lived.

It’s interesting because you feel on the one hand, we understand people from what the say, and in another sense.

And the level of intense tragedy that so many people have experienced in this world,

Something that I’ve always loved and appreciated is the chance to see something about someone’s character.

A little bit of attention and kindness can totally change a whole life, and a lack of that can do the same.

Learned how to survive without anything.

It’s been very helpful for my career, but I’m trying to stay on the path I was on before.

My dad told me, ‘It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success’, and it took me seventeen and a half years.

The problem is when you become so well known that everyone is watching you and you don’t have an opportunity to observe.

Part of what attracted me to the village was it had a lot of parallels to contemporary issues.

You meet a pretty girl, you’re different from when you meet a tough kid on the street.

We were all kind of thrown into the woods and we didn’t have any of the modern conveniences that we take for granted.

So that isn’t the concern. You have to do what you can do, and share what you feel is appropriate to share in the moment.
