There have been many times when you spend a number of months and the finished product is not what you wanted to see. And 'Batman Begins' was what I wanted to see.

I'd love to remain a secret and still work, but I also want people to see the movies I'm in and get a higher profile because of that. I like to think that as long as you continue choosing diverse roles, you can avoid becoming predictable.

It helps so much being on location. It's like the difference between performing for the rectangle of the camera versus a world being created and then the camera finds things within that. There's a huge difference in that, because what it takes away is performance. You don't feel like performing. You're just kind of doing it. You're existing.

The point of having a director is that they make the final decision; it's their point of view, they set the rhythm and they make the final decisions.

I don't have acknowledged preferences of characters.

An actor should never be larger than the film he's in.

There's a level of confidence in the actor you're working with that really helps a lot. It makes all the difference.
