“I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act.”

“I still like the run and gun action movies and how truly dangerous it can be to make these films.”

“I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it.”

“I mean, look, I love movies, not just the ones I make... In fact, I don't like the movies I make very much.”

“'A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints' was the first real actor-actor part I did, and I hope I to do more. Action movies are fun, but I'd be happy not to do them if there are better roles.”

“In all honesty I think that I've had a very normal life, even though I've been making movies since I was 9.”

“Over the years all these vampire movies have come out and nobody looks like a vampire anymore.”

“I want my movies to be audience experiences. As much as I like Michael Haneke, I'm not going to make a Haneke film. That's just not in my DNA.”

“Even today, in our progressive times, in most movies that come out, the men have to have biceps and the women have to be thin or something.”
