construct good
There is a little bit of me in every part I do... I'm not really good enough to completely construct an all-new character.
appreciate audience director ends future hate leaving letting otherwise sort
I hate when a movie just sort of ends and is so open-ended you feel like it wasn't finished. I appreciate leaving things up to the interpretation of the audience and letting them make decisions about where things will go in the future - but the director has to make a decision; otherwise it is sort of a cop-out.
allowed blowing bruce job saw shooting stuff wanna
I wanted to be an actor when I saw the movie 'Die Hard.' I saw Bruce Willis shooting guns and blowing stuff up, and I thought, 'I wanna do that.' It really had nothing to do with acting; I just wanted a job that allowed me to do fun, bigger-than-life stuff.
thinking directors appreciated
James DeMonaco is one of my favorite directors I've ever worked with. I think he shoots really well and all that, but the work environment he creates - he makes everyone feel respected, he makes everyone feel appreciated, and he's a true collaborator.
frustrated dollars care
There's definitely times when you're frustrated for whatever reason, but that happens on fifty million dollar movies when you have a huge trailer, so who cares?
powerful gun people
When we have that scene where I shoot that huge machine gun, my first thought was "Why does anybody want this? What is the point of something like this?" I know some people feel powerful or whatever and I'm just like, " I feel like I want nothing to do with this."
people insane late
I'm compulsively on time. It drives me insane when people are late.
looks used highlights
I used to like the word of the day and when I read, highlight words that I didn't know and look them up.
running night sound
It is exhausting to be running around pretending to be scared at night - It sounds so wussy actory.
thinking style different
I really have no preference between TV and film. I think that each individual project is its own thing and has a very different style.
training film theater
I never had any film training. I went to Northwestern. I studied education and theater. So it was all theater training.
thinking would-be natural
I think my strength is always been in being very natural. I think Shakespeare and things like that would be more a stretch for me.
