I generally get challenged; I haven't been typecast, which is really, really, nice. It's not something that every actor gets, really. It's luxury. Most actors are capable of it, but they aren't afforded the opportunity to express their variety.

I am a nerd, but I don't dive head-first into any fiefdom of nerdiness, except for maybe 'Star Trek.'

People come up to me and they're usually nice, but as it goes on you realise that some people aren't nice. Some people are not nice at all.

I always believed that I never wanted to be an actor. I only did it because I was allowed to do it and I had to do something.

I don't want to be all worthy about it, but I don't do red carpets, I don't do events and I don't accept freebies that much.

Shakespeare's stories are still very strong. He structured fantastic stories about things that were fundamental to the human being and psyche.

[Macbeth] is historically set in a place depicted by Shakespeare as brutal and violent, incredibly superstitious, and that's something that I do believe is Scottish.
