I was more like a middle child. My youngest brother was the baby, so he got all the attention that the baby gets. And my older brothers were getting into so much trouble that I was left in the middle, doing plays. I was up to no good, but my mother didn't know it!

The less people know about me in reality, the more they can accept of me as a character.

Hollywood is an illusion. These intense workplaces, with very close relationships, a few months at a time - and then it ends.

Why people pick me for the roles that they do is a bit of a mystery.

Really if you look at my filmography, there's something for everyone!

I'm aware of how lucky I am. Being able to make pretty good money, and get to do a lot of fun work, and at the same time I'm not besieged by photographers.

It's kind of liberating to be able to bring your own ideas to things, but it's also a lot of pressure, it's like screenwriting on your feet.
