It's a weird feeling when people are defining you, and you haven't even defined yourself.

It's a tough thing-you get in a situation where you feel you have to be perfect all the time and it sucks.

[Success] always starts with the material; it always starts with the truth and honesty of the characters that you read in the screenplay and that's rarely something that can be remedied if it's simply not there by the time you shoot the film. Thank God we had that.

To play a repressed gay man, I had to explore what life was like in an era of sexual repression.

We only get one planet.

Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.

I have never been a fashionista or someone who puts a lot of thought into what I wear, and I dress to be as comfortable as I possibly can.
