I'm hardly Hollywood material - they're interested in youth and perfection and I lay no claims to either. It's not a place that's particularly interested in talent.

I wouldn't even begin to presume that the talent of an able actor is anything like the talents of a prodigious musician.

I often wrangle with myself as an actor, and wrestle with the process. In striving for authenticity I often have the feeling I am falling short.

I wanted to be the conduit for somebody else's experiences, filtered through me, and passed on to other people. Which is the job description, really.

I grew up all over the world. My father was in the army and was posted to a new place every two and a half years. I have no geographical roots.

I'd rather be useful than rich. It's more essential to feel you're doing something that's worth doing, rather than making a lot of money.

I have a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, but wear the same two T-shirts. I've never found a look.
