My philosophy has always been to try to put myself into roles and films that are different. That intensified after 'Lord of the Rings' because it was so massive, but it's something I've always believed in - wanting to change people's perceptions and challenge myself as an actor.

I guess I'm not jaded because I still believe that there are good films out there, and there are great directors, and there are great writers. It just takes a little bit more perseverance and a little bit more time to find [them].

I'm always looking for something very different from anything I've done. I'm attracted to a great script, and not necessarily a great character.

It was so clear from the beginning - what [Macon Blair] wanted to make [in "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore"].

I actually got a crush on Anne Heche when I worked with her on Huckleberry Finn. It didn't work out.

It feels kind of good to be [on Sundance]. There is a sense of unification and community and voices rising together, and that all feels good.
