I love working with people who have had television experience because I think there's a real efficiency and methodology that comes from that background.

I just think that's the job of an actor. I guess that's the variation that you're talking about. It's probably a byproduct of just constantly looking for something different, because that's what I feel like I'm supposed to do.

It's always bitterly disappointing to people to see how normally one can live.

I loved working with him [Justin Chadwick]. He was very smart in how he assembled the people around him and had a crew that he knew very well. He was very comfortable on the set and I never felt that I was working with a first-time filmmaker.

I get inhabited by a character and then you mourn it. There's a period of mourning for me, definitely.

I really enjoy working on small films.

Each time you go to the same track you know whether you're improving or whether you're not... it's not open to interpretation. It's measurable - unlike acting.
