I think as an actor you're lucky to have any film take on a life of its own long after it's left the theater.

I like historical pieces. History was my favorite subject in school, it was the only subject I excelled in. I love the idea of history and the idea that we may have the opportunity to learn from our past mistakes.

I feel like if a film is well-written, then the character's arc is complete. There really is very little room to expand on that afterwards.

It's true in life, as in the movies, that the greatest highs are often followed by the lowest lows.

No one is black and white or good or bad or happy or sad or what have you. [All have] particular idiosyncrasies that make them fascinating and that's how I tend to approach a character.

I think that's all you can hope for as an actor when you read a script; that after the first thirty pages it has some meaning to it.

I got a massive overdose of gamma radiation from the Xerox machine and just printing call sheets, you know? By the time I stepped in front of the camera, I was very comfortable. It was great.
