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

It's got to do with putting yourself in other people's shoes and seeing how far you can come to truly understand them. I like the empathy that comes from acting.

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

If I'm not working, I really have nothing to do with it - I'm not hanging out and mixing with film people. Not that I have anything against film people; they're some of the best people around and some of the worst people around, just like in any business... they just gesticulate a little bit more.

I would have been very happy just cruising around and enjoying the unexpected. I've never been ambitious.

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

I think it's important when you're acting to be as relaxed as possible even if you're doing something intense. You're basically in a state of dynamic relaxation.
