I would love to do a film with a lot of humor in it: a comedy with pain instead of a painful film with some comedy.

It's very scary to turn things down, but a project has to really mean something to me. I'm not interested in making a lot of money.

I'm always drawn to stories about characters who are somewhat isolated inside themselves by their inability to communicate in some way. That's what interested me about 'Children of a Lesser God.'

Because I had a lot of emotional upheaval in my life, I'm attracted to stories about characters whose lives are full of wounds and secrets. I'm not interested in who's going to ask me to the prom. I never went to a prom.

A doctor is not a mechanic. A car doesn't react with a mechanic, but a human being does.

I like to look at 'A Place in the Sun' every now and get inspired by it.
