Becoming an actor is like becoming a father. It's not hard to become one. Making a life of it is the challenge.

I used to hate exposure situations. What is generally referred to as 'red carpet.'

I'm not really all that familiar with comic book culture. Not because I'm such a high brow intellectual and bloody European. But it's just something that I was never into. Not because of any superiority. I don't know why.

Mine is studying script and being very academic and trying to be important.

I'm very bad with improvisation. I hate it.

That's exactly what I'm driving at. 'Basterds' was interesting because it was, in a way, unfamiliar. I thought well, OK. Let's leave the comfort zone and just risk it. Why not? Because, exactly as you said, in a way, by taking that risk, I make up a little bit for my ignorance in the subject, or rather, the genre.

You can't always do the extraordinary, in between you have to do the ordinary. Because if you didn't, what would constitute the extraordinary?
