For me, one of the most important things I look for in an actor is whether we can converse. Do we have a similar ability to discuss a character?

I have gone insane. I won't be talking with you for a while.

The first time I saw 'Sunset Boulevard' I was probably eight or nine years old, and it really struck me how it's so simply put and elegant, yet there's so much going on.

The closer you are to people, the more you realise what has happened to them.

I still fall asleep with the TV on, because I'm used to falling asleep with people yelling 'Action!' and 'Cut!

I think that laughter is very close to terror and horror. Maybe that's just me, but that sort of all - over rush that happens when you are either laughing or terrified or weeping...? I think that comedians, in and of themselves, make other people laugh because they aren't necessarily the happiest people in the world. So they know a lot about dark things.

I want to investigate what scares me and worries me.
