Actors are their own worst enemies. They quite often will get in their own way, and I have to be encouraged, endlessly, not to get in my own way.

Actors tend to get better with age. You start cutting away the useless stuff and achieving a point of effortlessness and simplicity, which is all you want to do, with any art at all.

One of the things I like about doing historical films is drawing the line between now and then.

One of the things that I discovered in my research is that some serial killers build an ultimate reality around themselves that they believe in, 100%.

What I went into the acting business for was to have a certain amount of chaos in my life. I don't know what I'm doing next. It's exciting. That's the way I like it.

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

I often think that drama helps people feel less lonely about things.
