I`d already made the decision before I`d even read it-just because it was John Sayles. Then when I read it, the themes were actually themes that have been a big part of my life.
I was this person with this weird last name from New York that no one had ever heard of. But my screen test I guess, according to him, was the best. So I got the part, which was incredible.
I take the fact that films cost a lot of money very seriously, but once in a while to have somebody say, This is a big scene, take your time with it, is important. That`s John Sayles.
