I'm fairly competitive.

I'm always interested in trying to investigate different personalities. I want to keep myself guessing and keep the fear element alive, so that I don't get too comfortable.

There's no point in swanning through and being cool as a breeze in every scene. It's not really that interesting. Even if you're a superhero.

The actors I looked up to when I was a teenager, they all just disappeared into different characters.

It's the worst thing if you're sitting there in the theater, going, "Oh, that's the guy who dates this person and likes to do this in the morning and that in the afternoon." Then you're just watching a brand, as opposed to an actor.

My goal was for acting to become my main income. I would say to myself, 'I'm good enough'. That became my mantra.

It's a difficult thing as an actor not to repeat one's self.
