A lot of times the character's experience is not in accordance with the tone of the movie and it's not really my job to account for the tone of the movie. That's the director's job.

As an actor, you have to be open to doing things where you look stupid, to be experimental.

My job when I'm acting in a movie is very limited to playing a role. I'm not evaluating somebody. I'm only evaluating them insofar as they're interacting with me, but I'm not evaluating their skill set and I don't watch the movies, so I'm not aware of the way they're putting things together.

Acting forces me to socialise, which is good for me, I think.

The frustrating part of being a movie actor is waiting in your trailer to do two takes of a scene you've prepared for two months.

No compliment is ever sufficient and every insult, of course, is true.

People think, 'You're an actor, you can afford clothes,' but I just try to take the clothes from the movie, which makes the selecting of film projects that much more difficult, because you try to play characters that might wear something you'd want to wear.
