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

I think the crucial thing about being an actor is to be doing it.

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.

I think I enjoy working obviously as a lead, but also you know I feel I'm also a character actor as well, so I enjoy approaching various projects in all sort of capacities. Any film I have been able to do I feel very fortunate to have been a part of.

Ive always liked the idea of being a father. And Ive always romanticised it, because I lost my father when I was young. In a way, all of the complications that come with my career are about that.

I try to just be open to what the next experience is and how it makes me feel, just reading a project, or trying to get involved with a project, or thinking about a project, and what particular emotional flavor that brings. To me, it's never really about planning the next thing, or the career arc. It's about investigating how I feel, from project to project, and finding things that I haven't explored and what that would be like.

There's always something ridiculous happening on the set, especially when people get tired because of the long days.
