Actors look for characters. If they read a well-written character, and if they think the director's not an idiot, they're going to sign up and do some acting.

I read books all the time. I'm just half looking for something to do; I mostly just read for pleasure. Occasionally I stumble across something that could be a movie, but I don't put a book down just because I don't see a movie in it, either.

I don't think human beings have changed in 2,000 years.

Everybody is always trying to make the best movie they can. It's a process.

Masculine ideals have become very confused in the modern world.

When you ask a bunch of people to see a film, and then invite them to comment on it and tell them it's a work-in-progress, they feel bound to offer an opinion.
