You don't really have to dress a ton of actors. You don't really have to spend a bunch of money lining up extras to look the time period. ”

I think, in any sort of medium, repetition makes you better at your trade. ”

I was working in Lexington when I recognized this actor, Michael Shannon, and I was like, 'What do you do?' He told me to get into a theater company, so I got into a theater company near my hometown. I was a carpenter there. And then I slowly got some work. ”

I always like to work with really good filmmakers and really good actors. ”

For an actor, to go to work every day is a really rare occurrence. You may work on a film for three months max, and then you're off, so you have to find another job and then work another three months. ”

The audience is already doing so much, so I don't make them work any harder. ”

For an actor to go to work every day is an extreme blessing. ”

There are all kinds of directors I want to work with and all kinds of films that I want to do. ”

I sort of tried to get a basketball scholarship out of high school, but that didn't happen. Then I started working for UPS, and that paid for tuition for school. I moved to a bigger town, Louisville. I did it for a year. I had to work the graveyard shift. And then you get off at eight for classes, so that sucked. Then I dropped out. ”

I unloaded planes for UPS in Louisville, Kentucky. It only was bad because it was called 'Earn to Learn,' where you pay for your tuition for college, but you have to work graveyard shift - midnight to eight A.M. - and then go to school at nine or 10 A.M. I was a zombie after two semesters. ”
