There are two things: 1) what things one does in the world, and 2) what family one has. There's the two really tangible things that can stay.

One of the things that I found very confronting in my early working life was that people thought I was some sensitive doe-eyed lovelorn boy, because they'd seen me do that a couple of times. What tends to happen is you get a run of similar roles.

People don't know who I am, and that's not a bad thing at all from my end.

I think that story wins out over acting and that the thing as a whole is more important than the performances therein.

From my point of view, things don't have to change to get better. Things are fantastic.

There were the usual types of things that happen, in a production, like logistical bullshit, and this and that and the other. That's the sort of stuff that happened. But I never felt, in a creative sense, that we were ever veering into a place that I hadn't signed on for.

I think there's a lot of mythos about what's required in acting. The way that actors talk about acting is generally quite punishing, and I think actors want to put forward the idea that they do all of this work because, you know, it's a post-De Niro world, when, largely, in fact, it's almost never true.
