I've been really lucky to work with a lot of really great actors, so watching the films back, it's really important to admire the people that you were working with and see their full performance.

The size of a studio film lets you see technology in a way that you wouldn't on an independent film, like the gadgets and the angles and all that.

It's all about the director for me; we have to click. It's a trust thing. I'll say I'm ready to let down my walls. I'll cry for you as long as you need. But you're going to have to hug me afterwards.

What's exciting about watching a movie, when it's finished, is you sometimes you don't recognize yourself, and that's when I'm really proud.

You don't always have to look in the distance for what's going on over there, when you actually see what's right in front of you.

On an independent film, you really learn about pace. You have so little time to do things, that you really have to know your scenes.

For a woman, body image is always a palpable thing. Weirdly, for me, the only time I don't care is when I'm in character.

I'm not someone who doesn't want to see the films, but I like to see them as an end product when the whole nuance of the character is put together.

When I go home to England, my friends all make fun of me for sounding American.

If you’re not good, I’ll burn your—”“Yeah, I know.” MeShack strolled to his bedroom. “You’ll burn my balls off.

I always knew I wanted to run a business someday.

The movie medium will eventually take its place as art because there is no other medium of interest to so many people.

In his fairy dreams of war [Thaddeus] always made conquest the sure end of his battles.

I've long ago learned that if an idea will stand on its own, it'll stand having the light shone on it. But if you shine light on it and it kind of withers, then it probably wasn't a very good idea.

And charge it please.

I do not like to be thought of as avant-garde or some kind of didactic artist.

If I went by all the rejection I've had in my career, I should have given up a long time ago.

I'm sure there's a right way and there's a wrong way. The bottom line is you have to do what you think is right.
