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.

A lot of the time when you're doing your own work, it's all in your own head, which can be frustrating if you're prepping for something, especially an audition where it's all in your brain and you go in and no one else has seen it and you don't really know how it fits.

If I look at the people that I look up to, a lot of them don't come to the forefront until their early to mid-30s. I think the most exciting roles are definitely yet to come.

I don't think I'm ugly, but I never thought I was that special.

I want to be 82 and doing movies with Paolo Sorrentino where people are like, "This is gold."

When I'm putting the character together I try to find music that I think fits the character.

I've always loved [acting] and I've always wanted to [do it] from as far back as I can remember.
