I am attracted to the dark side of life!

During my first visit, I was really struck by how deeply religious many Oklahomans are. It is a very conservative state and as somebody who grew up in a very liberal country, it was jarring to me at first.

Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.

Every single time when you act in a film, and there's a different director, which of course as actors we're used to experiencing that's what we do, it's a different experience.

I seem to have been cast several several times to do it. I think in this one, Phoenix is not purely evil. She was in the comic books at some point but the way the writers created her or we always talked about her, was that she was torn with her powers taking over and trying to control them at the same time. It was challenging to play which made it interesting for me to play this character.

I think every movie is its own little world, and a director certainly sets the tone.

I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody's path, what they've done.
