I respect journalism. I was always very aware of journalism from a very broad point of view, but I'd say my baptism by fire was doing the Donald Margulies play Time Stands Still. That for me was a real education because I spent a lot of time with some incredible journalists, war reporters particularly - Bob Woodruff, Dexter Filkins - people who were very helpful in painting the picture for me and reading the accounts of people and what they experienced, a lot of PTSD.

It felt good doing a physical job, and going home each evening feeling like I had really done a day's work.

I've never done anything comedic. In all the years I've been an actor, I've never delivered one comedic line.

I don't have any expectations as an actor and being rich and famous is not my driving force.

I find it incredibly romantic that people should fight for a cause they believe in and be prepared to die for it.

Your version of the truth is all that matters.

I'm not really very ambitious.
