I love acting. I just love it. It's in my bones. I remember when I was a kid, I watched an interview with Dennis Hopper talking about Jimmy Dean on the set of Rebel Without A Cause. Jimmy said to him, "If you've got to cry in a scene, you've got to cry. Make it real." And that's all that I believe in.

I don't feel that fear is a good incentive on a film set.

When I was at drama school I wanted to do classical theatre. It just so happened that I did a film when I came out and I moved that way.

I'm not going to pretend I'm some saint, because I'm not.

Just to have the opportunity to play an American in America is a dream come true for me.

The whole vanity aspect of building up different muscles - I have no interest.

I don't really have any regrets because if I choose not to do something there is usually a very good reason. Once I've made the decision I don't view it as a missed opportunity, just a different path.
