I think that sometimes in theater, I don't prepare much beyond going to the rehearsals.

I've gone on workout regimes, but I seem to have a system that is very resistant to changing.

I've been out to LA a couple of times but, over there, the Grenouille in me always comes to the surface. I feel completely terrified, totally flummoxed, like I don't understand what the hell is going on. I've no desire at all to go back there.

What I notice about people who are gifted in filmmaking is that they're great thinkers. They engage with big ideas and they engage with people.

The thing about acting is that it's fairly random. At the end of the day you take what drifts past you or what's given to you.

I find it really hard to say anything coherent or interesting about the work I do.

We are so mired in the complexity of our reactions to other people that when you come across someone who is asocial, there is a simplicity that is refreshing.
