Everybody is completely different. I think there is no formula for filmmaking. Everybody finds their own way of doing things.

I read a lot of books. So, usually when I go home I try to re-charge my batteries and absorb new stories to become inspired again.

Acting really suited me because I could connect as an actor to emotion.

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 wanted to be a dancer from when I was about nine or something like that and started ballet. I used to really like it and got into it and did it full time for a couple of years. I did a lot of ballet but I traded that in for acting when I was about 15.

It was good but it was just a tiny bit uncomfortable because it was a day of lying in the bushes and I think I got a major muscle thing going on there! But it was good. It was fun. That is one of the things you get to do in film that you don't do, or that I don't do, in real life. I can't speak for Dermot [Mulroney]! But it was fun.

As an actor you have to wait for someone to cast you, so you're relying on the business.
