I really am a character actor, in my heart of hearts, because I really do like developing characters and painting a past for them.

Everything keeps changing. People want to label things all the time and once you label it, it changes again.

I like the Polanski stuff more than anything else. Rosemary's Baby is still one of my favorite movies of all time. The idea of her being impregnated with the devil is just so frightening.

Most actors are starving. Most of us are walking around with a flashlight and tweezers looking for evidence. When you have someone that actually writes an acting role, it's rare.

It's hard to find success and it's hard to find hit movies or hit TV shows and to stay relevant. I think it's a very difficult thing for actors, because a lot of us get lost, frankly.

To me Polanski is one of the greats in terms of psychological horror. It's just hard to top him because he's so damn good at it.

Once you understand that someone has Tourette and that they can't help their tics, it takes away the distraction. And you can engage your compassion. You feel for them. You embrace them.
