I love the grandiosity, how sweepingly entertaining films can be. And I think there's a place for films that pry more into the human condition.

Most of actor's work is done at home, in your hotel room, in the wee hours of the morning thinking and reading and feeling, walking around and listening to music. It really just because an internal exercise, whatever skills. It's great if you have to learn something new for a gig and designing a character physically is always fun but it does become an internal exercise in separating the wheat from the chaff.

I was never an A student, but I was really well behaved until I was 13 or so.

Life is apogee, apex, decline; life is death - and everything else is open to discussion.

It can be a bit annoying if another actor is trying to talk to the director and the wife is sitting on his lap.

When I read the script it was extraordinary and to work with Yorgos [Lanthimos] again was amazing.

I do enjoy reading some science fiction.
