I try my best to find variety in what I'm doing, but there's a lot out there that's the same.

You use words like 'introvert' and 'extrovert,' various traits of a personality. A lot of that stuff, we used in drama school, and that was kind of interesting, to realize my teachers sort of ripped off a lot of Jung. And how much of it is part of our society now, these phrases, introvert and extrovert, where it actually came from.

At one point you think, well, it's funny, I could just be a starving actor... So if somebody were to pull the plug right now, there'd be no room for complaint.

Everything I put my name to and take part in, I want to be good. That's not saying it will always happen. But I want to make bold choices.

If you're dealing with a character that actually exists, there's an awful lot of information there. So, you can put together, from the information, motivations, insecurities, reactions. Where does that seed get born, if you like?... What I do is put that together.

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

As an audience member and as an actor I much prefer to find ambiguity.
