I did have a knack for playing weirdos. There's still sort of this perception of me out there as being this crazy guy.

What other people think of me is none of my business.

The book tells you everything you need to know. The book is the map of the world that you're in with the character.

And costume is so important for an actor. It absolutely helps to get into character; it's the closest thing to you, it touches you. Some actors like to go into make-up and then put their clothes on, but I like to dress first; that's my routine.

That's what sets apart one actor from another, and that you can't teach. You can't give someone that. When you're working, putting a character together, or in a scene, that's where things will happen that you have to have the intuition to notice them, and to register them.

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