A challenge is always important; as an actor, as a human, it's good to face challenges and it's good to push your boundaries.

What I like doing these days is spending more time with coaches because I think it's important to work on yourself.

Comedy is not something that had necessarily jumped out as something I'd immediately go for.

I think I was shown Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas at seven or eight. That's really bad. I think I've turned out all right; it didn't harm me too much.
