I think I'm a bit of a dreamer. I don't like the reality of life to impinge much on my life.

Film sets are constantly amusing because you really are creating something that is so very surreal, and I kind of like that.

I kind of like the challenge of jumping into totally different spaces and styles and figuring out how to fit in.

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

The biggest challenge for me, as an actor, is to be informed, prepared and focused, at the same time. I had to just keep on working, prepping, reading and imagining, all the way through, but the biggest challenge is always to let go of all that and just be open to others. That's what we do, as actor. We play with each other and we stimulate each other, and we have to be prepared to be stimulated by the other. That's always my big challenge.

I certainly don't advocate terrorism as a way of progressing and understanding people, nor do I believe labeling everything as a terrorist act is helpful either.

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.
