Being behind a camera, in front of the camera, is my own little deconstructionist niche.

I'm less interested in slasher, and go more for roles that can affect you on a personal level. I'm interested in human empathy in the movies I see, and in the ones I am a part of.

In horror, character development is often pushed aside in favor of the shock value. The best genre movies to me are movies like The Shining. You had a connection to the characters in that film.

I get so much mail from young women saying that they are so insecure when they look at me, but they don't realize all of the flaws that I have.

Good breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
