Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.

I love doing impersonations of people.

I think what I loved in cinema - and what I mean by cinema is not just films, but proper, classical cinema - are the extraordinary moments that can occur on screen. At the same time, I do feel that cinema and theater feed each other. I feel like you can do close-up on stage and you can do something very bold and highly characterized - and, dare I say, theatrical - on camera. I think the cameras and the viewpoints shift depending on the intensity and integrity of your intention and focus on that.

I'm quite sensitive to people noticing me. There are times when I'm relaxed, then others when it does make me self-conscious.

Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don't see beyond that.

I play enough other mad people, as well and some sane people, to vary the palette of what's scrabbling around in my head and soul to bring to the floor, as a storyteller.

It does get strange when you realize people will hang around for hours to get a glimpse of you doing scenes outside.
