'Serious acting' is the kind of acting that I don't ever respond to.
It's very difficult to make comedy work; I think it's a very underrated genre.
The kind of actors I admire move through different characters and genres.
The goal is always just trying to stretch yourself as an actor.
It sounds maybe a little old fashioned, but the parts I want to play and I do play, you don't want to inject too much of your own personality. What you sacrifice then is a slight mystery.
I do sometimes play characters that are a bit ambiguous. You've got to be brave about that sort of stuff. I like the sense of people not feeling too secure, not immediately knowing what they have in front of them.
