It's got to be a challenge but at the same time you have to feel as though you can play them - it's really dangerous to want to be a part of something just because you think it's going to be great. I've been sent plenty of scripts where I've known that it's going to be a great film and a successful one, but I just couldn't convince myself that I was the right person for the part. So, I think you have to be careful with that.

I always find that 90% of the performance, for me, is about what comes from inside.

I think there are times when you walk onto a set you can potentially be either intimidated or distracted by what's going on around you.

I like the unknown. I like mystery.

If a great comedy landed on my doorstep, I would find it hard to say no.

But it's healthy - whatever you can do to keep you fresh and awake. Acting's such a ridiculous job and sometimes you need to look at it like that to get a sort of degree of freshness.

It's always been my hope, as an actor, to reveal only what is relevant about myself to the work.
