My favorite kinds of movies are the ones that start a conversation.
But I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is.
When you become a ghost feel free to haunt me.
I collect flickering stars in old pickling jars, poking holes in the lids so they can breathe.
Sometimes what someone else does is really not what you expected them to do, which to be honest, sometimes doesn't work.
My dad never blew anything up, but he probably had friends who did. He and my mom have always preached that the pen is mightier than a Molotov cocktail.
This overwhelming desire to be close to you directly conflicts with my intense fear of people.
Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever.
I think the reason I was able to get the jobs I did is because I worked for some very strong, self-possessed filmmakers who wouldn't listen to the executive-suited wisdom, and they believed in me from director to actor. Not from salesman to commodity.
I don't have any training in dance. I can convince an audience that I know how to dance because I'm a convincing actor.
Making little videos that you know are going to be on tiny windows is a whole different thing. I don't know what it's going to lead to necessarily, but it's certainly fun.
That's sort of what I wanted to make fun of a little bit with Don Jon. And I think oftentimes, if you're going to talk about a sort of substantial topic like this, the best way to do it is with a sense of humor.
I do feel that even though I didn't grow up being a big sci-fi fan or comic books or superhero fan, I felt myself definitely gravitate towards these movies that have a high concept and yet they're giving you a moral dilemma within that.
The truth is, an actor's performance is the result of work by a lot more people than just the actor. When you see that character portrayed up on screen, there is the work certainly of the actor, but there's the work of the editor, there's the work of what the camera was doing. What the music was doing, all of the above.
Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.
Storytelling in general is a communal act. Throughout human history, people would gather around, whether by the fire or at a tavern, and tell stories. One person would chime in, then another, maybe someone would repeat a story they heard already but with a different spin. It's a collective process.
I know other worlds exist. I can see them in my peripheral vision.
I'm the last person to tell my friends to go see something I'm in. I could care less if friends of mine never saw anything I'm in.
When I started editing on my home computer, I said to myself, 'Well, I could be at home studying for a class or I could be at home editing a video.'
While I'm not a celebrity, it's such a weird concept that society has cooked up for us. Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.
Every director is different. And all the movies are very different, and the characters are very different.
If I were to point to the person who's having the greatest impact... I'd point to Elon Musk.
[hitrecord.org is my] alternative outlet of where I get to be a little less professional and just freak out a little bit.
The cool thing about my character was that it's not that digital. I get to put hours of prosthetic makeup on and see a different creature altogether. I've seen how he looks and it's really cool.
My mom brought me up to be a feminist. She would always point out to my brother and me that our culture does often portray women like objects...
