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

One thing I will say - my job gets harder and harder. The more you understand about what you are capable of, the less the instrument can do it physically. It's an inverse equation, if that's the right phrase. I just slammed those two words together. It sounded right.

Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.

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.

A lot of the time I hate the theater. You think, 'I have to climb Mount Everest, again, tonight.' Oh, the theater is a scary place to be.

I have this feeling that if I could sort out what's on my dining room table, everything would fall into place.

It's a nightmare to sit and watch a film that I'm in. There's a horrible inescapability to it.
