challenges involving
I love directing - it's always so involving, so challenging.
acting use
I like to use all of myself, and acting wasn't doing that.
silly way film
Even The Impostors, as silly as it is, is a very intimate film, in a way.
taken roles gangsters
I have consciously not taken the role of a gangster, which has been offered to me far too many times.
motivation matter needs
If you find that thing you love, it doesn't necessarily matter whether you do it well or not-you just need to do it.
night bigs
Big Night and The Impostors are both things that I wrote.
dog character independent
[Hollywood] studios are handing out money to make independent films now, but they all want the same thing. They want the style and the deadpan delivery of RESERVOIR DOGS or FARGO and so they imitate those movies. They want PULP FICTION, but they get it all wrong! They get the detachment, but that's it. And then it's all about style, and in the end what do you learn about the characters? Nothing. You learn you wasted two hours.
funny-things people wish
This is the funny thing about Skype. No one is really looking into the camera. People always looking down because they're looking at the image. You wish the camera was there in the center.
someday bigger projects
I'm not saying they won't be bigger projects someday.
actors firsts
I've always considered myself an actor first and foremost.
teenager father hair
I've been playing the father of teenagers for years. People always thought that I was 40 when I was 26. Once you lose your hair, they're like "Oh! He's really old now."
successful serious way
You have to be serious about what you do but you mustn't take yourself seriously. That way you'll be happier and ultimately you'll be more successful. You'll be better at what you do.
smart people shooting
I'm interested in how people shoot because I have a very specific way of shooting and I'm fascinated by the way other people shoot films, particularly if they're smart and talented.
want directors sometimes
Sometimes you can't even find the director on a movie set. Sometimes you don't want to find the director on a movie set.
