The tricky thing becomes: Do you know yourself well enough to then portray that on screen? And for me, I find that really hard. I'd rather hide behind accents and funny walks.

There's the pressure of being a No. 1 on the call sheet, being a lead actor. There's almost this feeling like being captain of the team. You want to put a bit of energy into actually setting a good example.

Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time.

I'm not going to allow myself to second-guess projects. I'm just going to do the ones that I fully love and believe in - that's a real privilege.

That's one of the great privileges, being an actor, is that someone pays you and sends you off to learn about something that otherwise you'd never know about.

The recipe for any character is always very interesting, as far as what doses of certain qualities you want.

I often times find with movies that the heavier the onscreen situation is, the more levity there is off screen. It's almost out of necessity.
