I think it's always good to take on things that at first seem bigger than you. Then you just try and surmount them.

I'm always without sleep. I've got two kids. I understand sleep deprivation on a profound level.

I love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.

What you're trying to do as an actor is somehow trick yourself into believing that these words have never been said, and so you've got to discover them for the first time.

What I find interesting is this ricochet effect, that the audience perceives the work and then does something with it, throws it back to the world, and there's an ongoing interaction between work and audience, which doesn't belong to the artist anymore - from the moment you release it, it doesn't belong to anybody.

Being on stage a lot is quite physical.

Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.
