Snow Cake is a lovely film. Really proud of that. We shot it in 21 days. I thought Sigourney was amazing in it. And very, very accurate. I think there was some element that thought she had pushed it too far. But not at all when you do the amount of homework she had done and spent the amount of time she did with adult autistics. She was right on the money. And I think Marc Evans is a terrific director. He's a sweet, open, honest man and a really good director of actors.

Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.

I was coming from a very cerebral, dark, difficult, layered play by Christopher Hampton and doing an action movie in Hollywood (Die Hard) with explosions, and I was holding a gun.

You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.

What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.

I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.

What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.
