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

It's about pursuing it rather than waiting to see what comes along.

Planning a career, I always find a tricky thing, because I don't have much of a plan, really.

Personally, I love going to see a film when you can really watch a character. If you've just read some article about who the actor is sleeping with, that's gonna be at the back of your mind all the time while you're watching the film.

I don't have acknowledged preferences of characters.

Any planning that I have in my career is totally accidental really.

I know a lot of other actors that don't like to look at other references to their characters and things. But I like it. I always look at everything, I read all the books. I read Dieter's "Escape from Laos." I watched the documentary again and again and again. I recorded it just to listen to him a lot. I just don't suffer from feeling like I'm getting caught into an imitation. I just feel like I want to steal some good stuff if it's in there.
