I don't know a single person in life that doesn't have conflict. I don't really enjoy acting enough to not want to experience something that feels like it really affects things. It's like, if you were a surfer, would you want to surf where there was like two-foot waves, or would you want to surf on like ten-foot waves. To me, the more kind of dramatic stories are more exciting for me, to play with.

I don't think one should be comfortable standing on a stage with people applauding and laughing at every stupid thing you say.

The less someone knows about me, the better, because my intention is to play a variety of characters.

I don't know why I always get to play these guys who have few redeeming features. But don't knock it. Villains are much more fun.

I was 3-years-old - to this day it is a vivid memory. My family and I were on a boat, catching fish. As one fish was caught, he was writhing, then he was thrown against the side of the boat. You couldn't disguise what it was. This was what we did to animals to eat them. The animal went from a living, vibrant creature fighting for life to a violent death. I recognized it, as did my brothers and sisters.

I enjoy humour more than anything, I don't really sit around banging my head and crying all the time.

I like being an employee. I like making somebody happy - and if they're not, then I'm crushed.
