I find it really difficult to even articulate things that I've done in the past. I express myself through the characters that I play, not through the articulation of them later.

If it's a great role or a great film, then you're happy to be a part of it.

There's something about the American sensibility that kind of hails people in the public eye. You have a star system. You have that kind of thing where you say, "Good on you for doing that."

I've been asked to do action-oriented movies in the past and they just haven't been right for me.

I tend to project my father figure onto any director that I'm working with, or mother, if I'm working with a female, or it can be confused.

I'll generally write out every scene that's in the film on a couple of pieces of paper, just with a little one-line. And then I can scan it a bit and go, 'This first third of the film, generally, I'm kind of calm.' Then I might do something on one piece of paper that just relates to the energy of the character.

The thrill of coming home has never changed.
