The kind of actors I admire move through different characters and genres.

I've played all these extreme guys, but playing an everyman type has its own challenges.

But there's a difference between privacy and secrecy, and I'm not a secretive person.

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.

People get distracted by box-office figures and take jobs because they think it will advance their careers.

Audiences like to be challenged and to be actively involved and try to guess an outcome.

'Serious acting' is the kind of acting that I don't ever respond to.
