If a film isn't really talking about who we are and what our psychologies are, then we're probably not that interested in it, actually.

As human beings, of course, we're all compromised and complex and contradictory and if a screenplay can express those contradictions within a character and if there's room for me to express them, that's a part I'd love to play, so much more than a character who is heroic and one-dimensional.
