Do you know what fear stands for? False Evidence Appearing Real.

I've decided as an actor the only, the power I have really is in the performance. It's the only real place I get to sort of communicate.

The truth is most of the films that make a lot of money no one remembers, and I'm not interested in making films that no one remembers.

You can’t just lump things into two categories. Things aren’t that simple.

You have formal rehearsal, a lot of things you don't have in movies - which is, you have to formally rehearse. You have to know your back story, discuss it, and almost everybody onstage has to know each other's [story], so that when it comes time to actually do it, you can throw it all away. That's the way I like to - and I didn't realize until very recently - that's the way I like to prepare for movies.

My mum raised us on classic movies and a lot of musical theatre.

As an actor, I feel like I'm somebody who, when somebody gives me a mark, I don't want to hit it. I don't like that. But then, without even knowing it, I just hit it.
