The hardest thing in the world to play is something close to myself.

I think it's hilarious when middle-aged white men try to take themselves seriously. It makes me laugh.

I'm not a guy who likes cliches. I don't think that stereotypes and cliches are the end of the line, when it comes to a performance.

In my experience, it tends to be a real reflection of someone's intelligence, confidence and sensitivity when they can just be real.

You shouldn't need 60 full minutes to create a portrait that an audience doesn't forget. You should be able to make an impression that's lasting and resonant with one scene.

I've just always been a fan of really fringy, outsider things, and I've always been a balloon in the wind, in terms of where that takes me.

You can always find contradictions and hope, in hopeless circumstances, and a sense of redemption in somebody who makes the same mistake, over and over. So far, so good. That's how I put it.
