We actually did a lot of takes on this movie [J. Edgar Hoover]. I never left the set wanting more. That's for sure. I don't know. This was a very difficult character for me and a lot of the other actors here, and at times we went and did 8 or 9 or 10 takes on a single day.

To put a lot of hard work and effort into a project or character and for it to be recognised, how can it not be nice?

I have the same problem as Edward Furlong. I'm so thin!

If a film is good, and I'm sort of able to sit there and absorb myself within that world. And get lost. That is a pretty powerful tool. And there's not many paintings out there, that make me want to stare at it for hours at a time, and wonder where I am!

I've never known a situation in my career where a terrible script turned into a movie that was out of this world or was a success.

Love at first sight? I absolutely believe in it! You've got to keep the faith. Who doesn't like the idea that you could see someone tomorrow and she could be the love of your life? It's very romantic.

Love is a sudden revelation: a kiss is always a discovery
