I'm kind of a private person, and sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get me to talk.
You have to be insane to direct.
99% of the people in the world would say there's something that they'd like to change about their lives, because nothing's perfect, and nobody's perfect. I suppose I could look at the glass half-empty instead of as half-full.
I want viewers to relate to me on a different level, not just a sexual level.
I've been in a situation where I was after the money.
Unless you are really grounded and have a true sense of reality, you can get lost in that and a lot of people do and that's why you see so many people with successful careers but with destructive lives.
I didn't pursue acting to become famous. I was actually just trying to make a living.
Oh yeah, I'm a huge romance fan. And some women like action.
I would like more challenging roles. I definitely would like to something that's more challenging.
I read so many scripts, that I don't do that much leisurely reading of books.
I want to tell stories for everyone, primarily.
You go from movies where you are wearing nice clothes and you're trying to smell good to a movie where you are in water and you are wet all day, and you are dealing with that elements, it gets rough, but it was definitely something I wanted to try.
It's hard when you see a scene where it's raining, and we have the rain machine, and you see it for 5 minutes, but that scene takes all day to shoot, and you do it with rain, and the dry off, and go back and do it again.
One thing I love about making an ensemble film is that you can have ten people come away from it with ten different messages.
