I'm always nervous about it. You know, somehow, without even knowing it, I try and recreate the idea of what it feels like to go in front of an audience every night when I'm making a film. And that similar type of pressure and excitement before a scene, or preparing for a movie, so...

I love movies that are saying things that people might find odd at times. I don't find them odd at all. They give me comfort.

Working with Robert, Robert [Elswit] is a storyteller. He's not a cinematographer, he's a storyteller. And to me, that's the graduation I hope to get to in my profession. That I'm not just an actor, I'm a storyteller. And I think that takes a long time in, when you have one job on a movie set. Makeup artists, actor, whatever. To graduate from just that to storyteller.

People say to me, well "What's the character you really want to play?" And I go, I don't know.

I hope I'm a spiritual person. I'm trying to be a spiritual person.

I don't have a "I want to play this or that," I just don't have that. I've never been like that.

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.
