That's what happens if you don't address the darkness in you. You become repressed and depressed and suicidal.

I believe I am quite amiable and affable and quite fair, and I've rarely worked with people who are the opposite. Moodiness scares me. What gets to me is unkindness. Madness. Unwarranted cruelty through words. People who scream and shout at work. I hate confrontation and violence. I've done it in the past and I don't want to do it again. I guess I want a perfect world.

I became an actor because I didn't know what else to do. Academically, I wasn't good.

You have to be pretty tough to be an actor, and you have to be pretty certain what you want. You can't waffle through this business.

Relish everything that's inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.

My father was grounded, a very meat-and-potatoes man. He was a baker.

I don't have any [favourite role]. I'm just a working actor.
