I worked with an amazing dialect coach named Jill McCullough. We did Skype sessions while I was shooting "No Escape" in Thailand, actually. So three times a week I would have long, two-hour sessions with her just working on the nuance of the accent, which I had had a huge background in because I went to drama school in England for four years.

It's like the most profound accomplishment that I've had in my career, that I can finally be that voice.

I think great directors really respect their actors and vice versa. That mutual respect makes the job fun instead of anything but.

People do horrible things when they're young. There might be betrayal and there might be things that should be forgotten.

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

I don't really enjoy working in TV, to be completely honest, even though it's incredibly lucrative, I'm just terrified of not being satiated in a myriad of different ways. It's amazing that I get to create every day, as an actor, or a director, or a writer, and I get to do it in a variety of different genres and worlds and characterizations. I think that's the great privilege of what we do, we get to make believe. I get to go to so many different places, try on different occupations, take on different points of view. That's what's always been sort of alluring.

The reason I got into this business was for the privilege to exist in different genres and different worlds and play out different realities.
