I feel that audiences are very sophisticated, and part of my challenge is to keep them engaged because they are so complex.

Working in this industry, I do feel that science and creativity turned out to be a very useful combination for me.

The only way to be an actor is to find ways to work as an actor, even if that means doing a one-man show by a river.

The thing about film is it is a very precise form. You know if you have it and you know if you don't have it. There's not really a middle bit where you're like, "I think we kind of have that scene."

Once you click into a character, to a certain degree, you can do a lot else. You can do other stuff, then come back and click right into the character. It's sort of funny that way, the way the mind works. Once it's there, it's sort of there. For the stage, for example, all through the day, you're not onstage. You're living your life, la-la-la, then the lights go down, then boom! All of a sudden, you're in this thing. There's a kind of reflex muscle trigger that happens, and all of a sudden you're back into the role. It's just getting there in the first place that's tricky.

I'm in favor of anything that promotes greener solutions.

I'm constantly looking to see whether I look the same as I did earlier, whether I've put on or lost any weight.
