Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.

Movies serve many purposes, and I've visited many of those genres, from the most light, frivolous comedy that is just trying to make you laugh, to movies that explore the most complicated side of the human soul. As an actor, I play all of those things, and I still like it.

I don't like to over-intellectualize scenes that are working. I tend to think when you do that you may lose it.

I divide my time badly.

As an actor, when you encounter a psychopathic personality, you naturally want to make him 'bigger than life,' as the Americans say.

You have to be in good shape, basically. And then, you have to have a certain craziness, if you're going to do some of the action things.

I had an idea and I wanted just to make it work. And I am never, ever secure on the set that what I am doing is going to translate to the screen. It never changes.
