That's the power of film. If it's good, it can somehow make you feel connected to even the farthest thing from your own experience.

It's not good just to have life experience of film-making and that's all. It's hard to play a real person when you've been in jets and town cars for three years.

I feel it's important to show that one thing that you do doesn't define you as a human being. It doesn't mean there aren't ramifications or you shouldn't pay for that but its not who you are.

You feel good if you've done hard work. You sleep better. You get stuck in your head if you have too much time to think.

If you do one good thing, that doesn't define you either. Being around the kids in the juvenile center, they were engaging, they made us laugh but they were there for doing something terrible.

I don't like the process of meeting someone and you make a film and that's it. You think you're just getting started, and then it's over.
