It's really interesting to observe each filmmaker's approach to filmmaking and I feel very fortunate to have worked with a lot of really interesting filmmakers and they all approach their job in unique ways.
I love learning from the filmmakers that I'm working with, but more importantly, I love learning from the crew.
I would love to shoot on film, but you can't really shoot a lot of footage on film, and you can't print a lot of it.
You can't print everything and that's not good for filmmaking, because you wanna have as many options as possible and print as much as you can, but if you're going to shoot a film - an independent movie on film, the only way to really do it is to print your selects.
You would assume that a filmmaker should know how to edit, but pretty much every filmmaker I've worked with doesn't know how to edit.
The film makers are the true movie stars.
A lot of times I'm on my own trying to find research material and things like that and trying to educate myself on the world and the film that I'm working on.
What you choose to do professionally is a reflection of yourself and I take that seriously as an actor. But even as a filmmaker, I take it even more seriously.
I appreciate film actors who respect the film making process.
You're not really just a filmmaker that makes a movie good most of the time. It's everybody involved; it's a collective effort.
I started working with James [Schamus] early on, and my role as an executive producer was more about being involved in the conversations of putting the film together. I didn't have to do much work because James is the most experienced first-time director you could imagine.
I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous.
There really isn't a dream role, but there's a dream situation where I could work with a director that I idolize. So, the idea of working with David Fincher or Paul Thomas Anderson or Wes Anderson or Scorsese or Spielberg or any of the guys I really idolize is a dream for me.
'The Goonies' is classic. That's, like, the movie I bring with me if I go out of town for a long time, because it just makes me think of the best times I've seen it with my friends growing up. Dude, everybody knows that movie, everybody watches that film. Best family film ever made.
