"When I'm shooting a film, I don't look at playback. I don't go and do a scene and then hurry up and watch what I just did. I never look at it so I haven't seen any of it."

"When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director."

"I'm not going to spend two years on a film or four years on an opera if I don't feel like I can put my own self into it. That doesn't mean it has to be about myself."

"Even if I'm playing a superhero, it has to be steeped in reality."
Reality
"What I find really interesting is to try and mix it up, to push myself and try different things. I don't want to stay in my comfort zone. I want to take risks and keep myself scared."
Comfort
"I guess in the independent market, I'd be getting offers, but in terms of big studio films, I still have to audition. I don't think my name is that well-known, I don't have much of a following to guarantee box office success yet."
Success
"Everything I put my name to and take part in, I want to be good. That's not saying it will always happen. But I want to make bold choices."
Choice
"You use words like 'introvert' and 'extrovert,' various traits of a personality. A lot of that stuff, we used in drama school, and that was kind of interesting, to realize my teachers sort of ripped off a lot of Jung. And how much of it is part of our society now, these phrases, introvert and extrovert, where it actually came from."
Society
"You know, it's amazing. I don't even have a car, would you believe it? I had a motorbike and it got stolen last year. So I've got to buy another one of those, I suppose. I can treat myself to that."
Car
"I always approach film as a fan."
Film
"There's no point in swanning through and being cool as a breeze in every scene. It's not really that interesting. Even if you're a superhero."
Being
"Magneto has a whole lot of complexity to him. Emotionally, he's coming from a very damaged place. I like the ambivalence of it. I want the audience leaving the theater wondering, asking the questions themselves rather than being spoon-fed like a lot of these super-villain characters."
Being
"'Hunger' definitely changed my life, in terms of being recognized by filmmakers, since that was very much a filmmakers' film."
