You need to be disciplined and you need to try to occupy a zone of acting that is always quite scary because you don't think you're doing anything.

If you're playing Hitler, you don't play Hitler as an asshole. Hitler believed what he was doing was right. Any of those monsters and any serial killer believes in what they're doing. I play it subjectively.

I think the older I get, the less I should be doing.

Im not a big fan of patterns. I like the unexpected.

I think I come from a theatrical tradition where, if you look at the great theatrical actors of the British theatre, they took enormous pride in being wildly different from one role to the next. That's the tradition I come from.

Acting gives me a chance to be people I will never be, in real life. I like changing who I am.
