I wouldnt be the same actor if I couldnt do theater.

I was the classic middle child in some ways, the one who could have been a priest in an alternate universe.

I think fear is a very healthy motivator.

I like finding things out beforehand, because I'm nervous in disposition, and I worry that if I don't do anything, then I'll turn up and I still won't really have a sense of it, and it might be too late. So I like to get things as organized as I possibly can in my own head, to apply myself to the work before arriving to a late-in-the-day rehearsal, or in extreme cases, the first day on set.

I enjoy doing everything, comedy and drama. I just look for the characters really and what they offer.

A lot of people ask me about my father's passing when I was young, which I'm never comfortable with. I invariably move around that subject.

I think a lot of acting is about the removal of self-consciousness. The actor is going to be in front of a lot of people, and will naturally feel self-conscious. So a lot of the preparation for that is the removal of that idea. Like you embody or are connected to this character, therefore you can present this character in a way that eventually, when you come back to see it, you feel not exactly ashamed of.
