- Your first union job is like a break because now you're in the union. Treme (2010) was big, because that was my first time getting to return to a show.
- My very first day [filming Inherent Vice (2014)] was my most fun and fancy-free day, and then I got more and more nervous. Which is odd: you'd think it'd be the other way around.
- We shot this crazy car chase scene in the canyon overnight, we wrapped with the sun came up, and I remember feeling super high and happy. And then I got my very first speeding ticket ever, driving back home. I had crazy green eye shadow on and my hair was insane, and the cop said, 'Where are you coming from?' 'I'm coming from work - I'm an actor!
- Usually, of course, it's the male characters who are the most layered. This is the first time I read a script where the female character was the only role I wanted.
- If anyone has to leave their homeland by boat, they all have difficult stories.
- My mom always points to the silver lining. She'll say, 'Because your dad was so bloody, the pirates didn't check his pockets. So we still had some money at the camp to buy you baby formula.
- Giving people the opportunity to sit in a dark theater together and have emotions in public, whether they're laughing or crying- that's what makes me happy.
- I knew it [Downsizing (2017)] was sci-fi, so I thought, 'Oh, maybe I can play a lab technician or something.'
- My parents had a difficult journey and their story always seems like a movie to me. So it's nice, in some way, to kind of portray some fictionalized, adjacent version of their story.
- I didn't like it here my first two years but now that I'm nice and comfy, I'm thinking about leaving L.A.
