Most films are rooted in a book or a comic strip, but I don't go out there saying I want to do adaptations. ↗

Filming takes a lot out of you. It really does. It's immensely demanding, and you have to put the rest of your life in the icebox until you do your final shot. ↗

Films take up so much time, and with theatre, you do have to plan a period of time that you can be free. ↗

The idea that every time you do a film you're supposed to be tortured confuses me. I mean, guys who say, 'Oh, it's really tough, my character is really suffering' -come on. For us, even in the rotten ones we've had a good time. I don't think you have to suffer. ↗
