I always feel like I want to work with people who raise my game, and I can do the same for them, and we can jump off the cliff together.
When a sports movie really works, it gets you on all levels, because the stakes are high. It's black and white. It's win or lose.
One of the things I really love about TV is this symbiotic relationship you can get between the writers and the actors, and the characters start to come to life because you start to collaborate.
I think I'm always trying to subvert conventions, and sometimes it's more successful than others.
I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an undistilled vision.
I kind of knew it wasn't going to be until my 30s that I really hit my stride as an actor.
