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.

I just can't talk about things before I do them, because just for me... I give energy away before I've put energy into the job.

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

I had to put the word out to people that I didn't cost a fortune, and I was prepared to work at home. Because that's the assumption: "Well, he lives in America now, we can't afford him, we won't bother."

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

I'm a musician, and I'm fascinated with the effects of sound, and tone, and pitch and melody and all that sort of stuff. It's the first thing I have to solidify whenever...I get into a character. The first thing I need to get sorted out before I can then move forward, before I can feel any confidence whatsoever, is the voice.

I'm far more comfortable in my 40s than I ever was.
