I'm moved by people who see the world differently than others. People who see the world with a longing for its poetry often can be broken people.

I like movies about longing and desperation, and dark and light things, stories about people struggling to raise children, and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.

There are people who consider it almost unpatriotic to be inquisitive and to be truthful about your opinions.

It's a strange world, as David Lynch would say.

If I had different parents who were in it for the money, I might have a different perspective. But they really are artists; they intelligently approach each character and prepare in every sense of the word. I grew up in a world that had great discipline.

I like to play people who are deeply flawed, and I want to find the good nature in them. I even try to be kind to myself when I've made big mistakes.
