I like to be absorbed in what my character's doing.

I really like trying to find the roles that are actually really meaningful to me.

In our world, we have so many ways we can escape with technology, like TV, Facebook, computers, text messaging and all that.

The independent films are really where I kind of come from and where I feel comfortable.

You definitely put a bit of yourself in every character, and you always have to have an understanding and empathy for the person that you play.

There's a whole language to movement and how you embody someone, and how you can use different techniques for different characters. I guess just posture, and the way you walk, and the way you physically are. All of that says a lot about who someone is.

I didn't shoot any guns then or when we did the scene with Uncle Charlie [Matthew Goode] and Evie [Nicole Kidman] in the hall. I sort of pressed the button but there were no blanks or anything in there because I think it was always going to cut.
