"So yeah, a good director will be able to listen and hear everything, but have a confident vision of his own that he can say, 'oh yeah - that's a great point.' And you never know; often you can help far more than you think you can, because there's so much more that he's juggling than an actor."

"If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn't be so adored in the slightest."
