I'm trying to fight typecasting as hard as I can, while I have time.

As a European I had fit in almost seamlessly in New York for the last 25 years, but in Oklahoma I stood out like a sore thumb.

Nobody sets out to make a bad film.

Everybody gets typecast in movies, but you have to make wise choices. I'd say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look, so you have to fight that. If producers had their way, I'd only be in action films, but I'm interested in a more varied career than that.

I love scary movies. The Shining and Don't Look Now are two of the best.

It's not as if you can act bigger to fit the surroundings or the budget more. Whatever, it just doesn't work that way.

I keep pushing buttons and trying to grow as a person and as a filmmaker.
