I think there are parts of myself in every character I play.

There is the old boys' club, but there are ­people who are "conviction lobbyists" coming from the heart.

I've always had an ear for languages and music so it's something I'm continually working on but it's fun.

I was always the one leading the way in terms of wanting to do acting, singing and dancing.

I'm just broadening my craft and stretching my skills a little bit in different directions.

I try not to limit myself. The actors that inspire me are the comedians and the people able to shape-shift into different roles and into different media. That ensures your longevity as an artist and prevents you from getting bored with yourself and, hopefully, prevents people from getting bored with you.

I always get a little bit scared reading reviews.
