It's the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.

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

Well, it's embarrassing to be a star.

Nuclear apocalypse-who do you need? Actors are probably not top of the list. What can I do for you? I can pretend to be somebody who can grow you some nice crops.

There are occasions when I've pretended to be in a firefight, and then there are people who have really been in a firefight. Clearly it's absolutely ridiculous, and even disrespectful, to suggest that I understand what that is.

And being as I'm somebody who loves movies like The Machinist, I also love going along to big mass entertainment movies. I get in the mood for all kinds of movies, and so I like to try each of them.

I never applied to any acting schools. I don't know if that's just bad reporting, or - sometimes I just make stuff up.
