I need my family to remind me in a loving and nice way to lighten up.

Leonard Cohen has a way with words and with humor that remind me to lighten up, which I appreciate very much.

I don't believe in careers. I believe in work. I'm not interested in some 'big picture that would be really good for me'.

Just because we're on schedule is no reason to shoot bad acting. Someone once said to me, 'You're inconsiderate.' And I said, 'Inconsiderate? Bad acting is the ultimate inconsideration.' It's a collective slap to a million faces at the same time.

I had a very insightful friend who warned me back when I stopped reading scripts, 'It's easier to change directions while you're still moving.' If you stop, it's harder to get started again. I still don't think I made the wrong decision, but he was right.

I'm from a nice, suburban, middle-class family, but my tattoos remind me where I've been.
