My dad was the biggest influence on my life because he was never boring.

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.

You're creating a different world and the actor's job is to be able to convince the audience to enter into that world, whether it be actually something that you recognize from your own life or not.

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

In honesty, there are probably a lot of stories that can be told with Batman. I like the idea of him growing older and he can't quite do it as much anymore.

There was a great complexity to my father. He was a devoted family man. But, in the same breath, he simply was not suited to an anchored life. He should have been somebody who had a backpack, an old map, a bit of change in his pocket and that was it - roaming the world.

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