When you're a kid you have this sense of wonder and wholeness and a strong sense of your own identity.

As an actor, to play someone who's at war with himself, that's so interesting.

I do feel like I'm not entirely an insider.

To me acting originally became an extension of game playing.

I think when your image becomes so big that it's hard for a viewer to see a character, then I think you're in danger as an actor of being unable to perform what you should be doing.

I generally find an affinity with a lot of the people I play and I suppose if I didn't feel an affinity for them then they wouldn't be particularly good performances.

People are more likely to pass me on the street without recognizing me, and that's good.
