For me and for I'm sure any actor, each role is a different challenge to prepare for in a different way.

For the last 20 years of my life, I've had the mantra to do amazing parts with amazing people in amazing projects, so I'm attracted to good story, writing and character and good people. That's what I'm always searching for and I don't think that's ever going to change.

I generally play strong people and scary people.

It's nice to sometimes get things out of life, rather than stealing from other artists. I'm trying to steal from the real people.

I don't think there are in life, pure darkness or pure light. Everyone's got a little of everything.

I do all kinds of roles - nerd, psycho, nerd, psycho, nerd, psycho - and occasionally someone kind of normal. It's weird, when I lived in Austin I was always cast as pretty normal people. But when I moved to Los Angeles I was immediately branded a psycho

Part of the way that I work is to observe.
