“I try to pace myself and not work for the sake of working and stick to what inspired me prior to receiving recognition.”

I take a lot less for granted.

The normal routine is always the same thing whether it’s on a new movie or a new job

If something is incredibly difficult to connect to, and painful, then I have to do a lot of work to connect to that and not joke around or lose sight of my job.

If I have a lack of dedication or focus, it’s permanently there as a negative reminder.

And then, it’s out of your control.

I really had a blast.

It would be terribly boring to be earnest.

You get to know one another very quickly.

Depending on what my job requirement is, my techniques change.

Fame actually makes life, especially human relationships, much more complicated.

Doing interviews is very different from working as an actor.

Any experience I had, I’d try to reenact it.

Film is a time capsule.

Some people may not appreciate your work and some may be incredibly moved by it.

What guides me is to do work that’s more avant-garde – things that I think are special. You can easily become a celebrity and get caught up in all that blur. I just want to work and surprise myself.

And often times it gets manipulated, sometimes intentionally, by pulling things out of context.
