Something that has always attracted me to even taking on the occupation of actor is the idea that I could be lucky enough to portray different characterizations from different places in the world, whether it's speaking another language or taking on a dialect and building a history from where they were born. I was very attracted to that concept, in becoming an actor.

The producers had seen "In a World..." and that's where they found me out and consequently sought me out for this role [in Man up].

Actually, in my own life I think I probably feign neuroses to be more interesting than I am.

When I'm tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director I then look for an acting gig.

I had had a huge background in the nuance of the accent because I went to drama school in England for four years.

We're all part of movie and we're all incredibly and equally important but it is your actor's job to perform and to deliver.

I've learned from every director I've worked with. Everybody's style is very different, and I always say that being an actor is the best film school that I could ever go to.
