You talk to any director, it’s tough. It’s tough to make movies that you love.

I like to go for the reality, I like to go for what’s underneath. And I don’t even judge it. But that isn’t what all Hollywood movies are. That’s an example where my success in Boys Don’t Cry (1999) brought me this great Hollywood career and all these offers that I really appreciate, but I really have a very particular thing that I like doing. I love real emotion, I love real drama.
