I Like The Idea Of

Heath [ledger] Would Walk Up To A Horse And Could Like Silence The Horse. Just Literally He'd Be Like, 'shh. Shh.' And Then He'd Get On The Horse. I'd Be Like, 'i'm Going To Get On You.' They'd Be Like, 'f - Off!' I Didn't Really Have That Style.

I Remember Watching Meryl Streep In, The River Wild. There's This Scene Where She's Has A Gun Pointed At Her, It's Absurd In A Lot Of Ways. Someone Pulls A Gun On Her I Think, I'm Not Really Fully Aware Of The Scene And She Just, She Starts, You See Her Terrified. And Then All Of A Sudden She Starts To Burst Out Laughing. She Starts Laughing. Like She Can't Stop Laughing. Because She's Terrified And She's Emotional And There Are No Rules To What You're Supposed To Feel. That To Me Is Like A Number One, That's The Thing I Have To Remind Myself All The Time.

Every Man Goes Through A Period Of Thinking They're Attracted To Another Guy.

I Was Brought Up, And My Sister Too, With Two People Who Were Always Saying, "what You Do Is Really Nowhere Near As Important As The Things That Are Going On In The World, And If Your Work Needs To Reflect That, Or You Want It To, Then You Need To Strive For A Certain Type Of Excellence."

I Have Always Had A Deep Belief That Every Movie, Every Artistic Expression, Is Political. Don't Be Fooled. Even Ones That We Wouldn't Consider Overtly Political Are Political. When We Spend Time Doing Anything, Whether It's Distraction Or Whether It's Something That We Have To Face, It Is Always Political. That's My Belief.
