I grew up in a household where everybody lived at the top of his lungs.

There's nothing like the bravery and the strength and the extraordinary optimism of a five-year-old child in a cancer hospital, fighting to live. It's there inside the spirit.

But I think one of the reasons I tend to stay in the water most of the time is I distrust the comfort.

But when I was seven or eight, I did my first little piece of acting.

It's my job to try to communicate with as little showiness as possible. I was a really showy actor as a young man.

Sometimes you have to get out of your own way as an actor. Young actors tend to over prepare sometimes and over think it. And actually there is nothing wrong with walking on a set with an empty brain and then on action allowing your adrenaline and your trust in yourself to take over.
