English is no problem for me because I am actually English. My whole family are English; I was brought up listening to various forms of the English accent.

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.

Memory isn't the facts, it's just a record you keep to yourself. With the facts, memory is useless.

A movie that gets a PG-13 rating can show someone running down a street killing 27 people. And there are no repercussions.

The funny thing is, because I was doing a lot of theater when I was a kid, and a lot of that was musical theater, as I got older I became more interested in acting as a separate entity and music as a separate entity, like songwriting and production and recording and playing music.

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.
