Good acting is thinking in front of the camera. I just do that and apply a sense of humor to it. You have to trust the audience to get it.

They're not thinking of how it's going to please a mass audience, ... They're really writing it for themselves, and trusting there's an audience out there for what they have to say. Whenever you make a film, there's always compromises you have to make just to get it made, but you really have to ask yourself, 'How much am I willing to compromise to get it up on screen?' and at what point do the compromises mean that you're not really making the movie you wanted to make.

Confidence and a good sense of humor can usually win a chick over.

If you get a diagnosis, get on a therapy, keep a good attitude and keep your sense of humor.

One doesn't have a sense of humor. It has you.

It's weird; I was not a really tough guy in high school, but I end up playing all of these psychopaths and criminals. I don't really care who they are, as long as they are complicated and going through something that I can understand and put across.
