I feel quite blessed that I can actually balance between the two worlds, because a lot of really talented actors I know end up getting set in a certain category and no one will ever buy that they can exist outside that category, even though you know full well that they can.

I'm a huge fan of Michael Hirst, and I'm a huge fan of historical drama.

To be honest, when you're young and you watch The Deer Hunter for the first time, that's when you're like, "That's what I want to do."

I have 52 first cousins. My mom and dad were the only two to move to North America, so I've got deep family there, but I'm a California kid.

I wanna be the villain. Villains have fun.

I don't know why I don't watch the Oscars. It's not bitterness or anything; it just seems weird.

I love not feeling this hydraulic pressure that you have to create this comic moment within every scene. You can just play it as it is.
