I took a bit of a back seat, I had kids and I wanted to focus on them. There's that period in the late '90s, the early 2000s, where I didn't do a great deal.

At the Oscars, if you didn't vote for '12 Years a Slave' you were a racist.

Over the years, I have been asked to play these sort of scary frenetic characters that express their emotions physically.

I went and lived in Chicago for a year , and I studied at the police academy.

Overall I enjoy a certain anonymity. I live a very normal, very ordinary life.

The work I enjoy is when the camera rolls, and I like the work in the moment.

You can play older than yourself. You can play younger than yourself up to a point, and then that just becomes impossible because you carry a weight with you that you can't shift, unless you have very boyish looks.
