We shot that in Morocco, and got out of the country at the beginning of July - and two months later came the attack on Twin Towers. The movie was then released in December, so that kind of atmosphere is not something that was unfamiliar to me.

I'm very much a bit of a ghost presence.

I don't like to come at my character from some really technical place.

The most serious film can be the most fun. The one that's supposed to be fun can be the most serious.

I didn't study Greek mythology in school and I wish I had.

I'm realistic about it. It's been quite some years since I've worked full-time in that area, so I no longer have any material that bears any relevance to my life or the audience. I'd need to take probably a year off, which I wouldn't be prepared to do, so it's a romantic ideal.

I like the unknown. I like mystery.
