At the moment I'm doing this space movie, so I'm obsessed with physics and space travel. I know three months down the line it's gone. Then I'll be able to superficially say stuff about space.

From a very young age I had an ambition to be a musician, and to do that professionally. That's what I pursued until I was about 20, playing in bands that were taken pretty seriously at that stage.

I always think it's a sign of a truly gifted director when they can move seamlessly between genres.

I personally think if something's not a challenge there's no point doing it because you're not gonna learn much.

Then, at age 20, I discovered theater sort of by accident. Quite quickly, theater became more important to me than music. I began to realize that maybe my talents as a musician were quite limited, or had a ceiling to them, whereas acting seemed to sort of stretch before me. I got very passionate about it very quickly.

The best roles you have to fight for. You have to really want to do it and you have to go after it.

I'm terrible. I'm the wrong person to talk to, I really don't know a thing.
