I wanted to do serious movies. I had a certain idea of what good acting was. That's since changed, and I love doing comedies now. I don't like a lot of those movies now, but I thought those were movies that I could do real, serious performances in.

I only work with people I trust and respect.

The hair is really a way to push me even farther out of just what people know me for. I don't really know what people know me for.

Acting is an art form and you want to take roles that are challenged and it's more of a challenge I think to play dark characters. Not that I want to always play those, but it is a challenge and challenges are rewarding and fun.

Showing the addiction and unusual sexual practices are ways of just outlining a much bigger character trait.

Not having any real direction, one writer would lead me to another.

For whatever reason, I have an emotional life that wants to come out.
