I like the idea of movies having a magic element. How many times have you seen an actor in a movie who you know only as the character? It's wonderful, isn't it?

I find something fascinating about the quiet man in the background who has no desire to be the center of attention.

If everyone really knew what a jerk I am in real life, I wouldn't be so adored in the slightest.

You have to treat yourself like a mushroom to some degree, in order to keep on discovering things.

Directors go their whole career without being able to tell personal stories and to work with a cast as talented as they are.

I don't personally look to my own life experiences for answers about how to play a scene.

If you're doing your job properly, you take the risk of feeling slightly foolish and delve in and bring out the emotions.
