I would love to work in America. I wouldn't love to live there, but I'd love to experience working there.

I think, as an actor, and particularly if you are playing the lead in something, you have to view yourself as the head of department for the cast. All of the other departments are accountable and have somebody at the helm who is leading them all the time, and I don't think that the actors should be any different.

There's an incredible comfort level that I have on film sets because it's where I've grown up.

As an artist, you have a path that you're on that evolves with the kinds of stories you want to tell.

As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time - that doesn't work for me. I do that very unsuccessfully. I'd just rather sit at home and read, or go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh.

And well historically it's never been a good thing to compare yourself to biblical characters.

If I die on a film set when I'm 80, I'll be happy with that.
