I'm just constantly trying to renew and give myself new challenges and push myself to uncomfortable places, trying to get better.

Obviously, I'm attracted to heavier movies.

I had to ride a horse once. In 'King Arthur.' I said I could ride, but I had to call for lessons on the day the deal was signed. I started out on this little chunky thing and slowly moved up. It was months of work.

I do a lot better if I sit around and think about a character for a couple of months.

I've done a number of things based on real people or true stories or based on books, and I'm a great believer that you have to be true to the script.

When there's an idiot driving crazily in front of you, that can wind the best of you up.

For me really good acting is about subtext.
