I like the feeling of being dominated

I thought I'd become a funeral director when I wasn't going to be an actor. I thought I would be good at helping some people with the grieving process and with trying to get them to talk about and understand who this person was.

To be put simply refugees are us. And their mothers are like us, they love their children the same, they laugh, they dream, and they are survivors, they are amazing.

It's just person after person in every different country that has a life that I can’t even imagine and has gone through horror that I can’t even imagine.

Every character is a part of you and a part of the character that you are going to evolve into that you are not yet.

Films that I want to do are few and far between.

I had a lovely experience once in Africa working with the U.N. when a president of a country met me about refugee issues and said ‘What do you do?’ I said ‘I‘m an actor.’ He replied ‘I heard that was a very difficult job and might not be the smartest job to do.’ It was lovely.
