I am trying to impress myself. I have yet to do it.
My parents are retired, basically.
I've learned a great deal about a certain type of filmmaking. But I have ambitions toward another type of filmmaking that I haven't been allowed to engage in yet.
I have a hard time with free time.
I didn't jump onto anyone else's coattail and ride their wave.
My life is okay, my life is pretty good.
Old Americana vintage gangster stuff has a fantastical feel; it feels less dirty in a way. It feels like the opera of crime.
People are still emulating the old fashioned criminal.
I've never been able to learn from other people's mistakes - I'm not that smart - so I usually learn by trial by fire.
Sometimes I feel I'm living a meaningless life, and I get frightened.
I have a great house.
Most actors on most days don't think they're worthy.
To my mind, talent doesn't really exist.
My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it, and it will probably be poorer; less fun and less money.

Nobody makes movies like Oliver Stone.
I don't have many actor friends.
I'm an individual, and I have opinions.
I was always raised on cowboy films, and then when I could start making choices about the movies I wanted to watch I found myself wanting to watch gangster films which were slightly more sophisticated than the baseline stuff that was in westerns.
Crime is sexy.
Probably the sexiest woman I know is my mother.
There's this coming-of-age thing that's happening within me.
I'm trying to find a way to eat up time without being destructive, 'cause that's my go-to, it seems.
Talent is to actors what luck is to card players. It's not really anything; it's just a fictitious word that people have created and labeled things. Talent is like, you know, I never really believed in talent, I believed in drive and determination and preparation, but talent is sort of like luck.
Actors live dependent on being validated by other people's opinions. I don't understand what it is I do that people want. I don't know what an actor does. I have no credentials. I don't know what I'm doing.
