I want my career to grow gradually. There's still so much for me to learn. I'm just trying to take these opportunities to get better at what I'm doing.

I had a love for photography, which of course rolled into cinematography.

I think acting has made me very in tune with human behavior and myself as well.

To book commercials, you do something to get to a callback, and once you get to the callback, you've got three minutes to get the people to want to hang out with you for a day.

Not all pictures but some pictures you're like, "Wow, I wish I could be there" or you feel like you are there. I don't know what it is about cinematography.

I really love Andrew Dominik's movies. When you work with someone whose movies you really love and who you have a lot of admiration for, you turn into putty in their hands.

I just want to keep laying down really great, strong characters, and the more I go unrecognized, the better job I feel I'm doing.

I did theater as a kid, more of an after-school program. But every night I would put on a movie and fall asleep to it.

I've been doing independent films for 10 years, but one out of five didn't see the light of day.

In no way do I want to draw attention to myself.

To have three movies coming out at the same time - I probably will never have that again in my life.

I never thought acting would be my life. I only started doing it because I needed something to occupy my weekends after I dislocated my knee and couldn't play sport.

Energy begets energy.

If you don't measure up to your expectations, realize that you should just be life without expectations.

The world would be a pretty dull place if it were made up only of the first-rate, right?

I believe correcting is the positive approach. I believe in the positive approach. Always have.

Those who can do. Those who can't form a supercommittee.

Rise early. It is the early bird that catches the worm. Don't be fooled by this absurd law; I once knew a man who tried it. He got up at sunrise and a horse bit him.

Thoughts about myself hinder my usefulness to God.

I want to become actor not because I want money and become more famous. No I don't want that. It is not that l want stardom, I want to contribute to good cinema.

I tried to put a bird in a cage. O fool that I am! For the bird was Truth. Sing merrily, Truth: I tried to put Truth in a cage!
