“A lot of actors are frustrated because they want to do things that are different and test themselves. Character actors are always looking for something the opposite of what they did.”

Do 40 hard minutes, not an hour and a half of nonsense.

I’m not fixed in any genre. I love all kinds of films. The essential thing is; you have to have good material. If you have the filmmaker, and the material, and the script is good, you can start from there.

Every sequel needs to be bigger and better.

I think being a competitive diver for years helps you focus and dedicate yourself to what’s needed.

There is something about yourself that you don’t know.
