There are directors who, their direction is high, but then when you challenge it, it crumbles. They can't back up what they're asking.

Every director is different and they all have different styles. I've worked with directors who were very specific and they gave a lot of direction. The one thing about Michael [Haneke]that I think is interesting is that he really has a reason for everything he's asking you. If you challenge it, he is open for discussion but he has a clear idea of what he wants with reasons why.

I feel that film, as opposed to theatre, is about capturing that one, real moment.

I think that it's important not to take [acting] too seriously. It's all pretend. It's a strange job.

Personally, I'm very classic. If I'm going to wear a suit, it's going to be classic, black, and fit very well. There's nothing like it.

In a weird way scientists understand things on a higher level but it takes a lot of dedication and a lot of time.

I think in some ways you learn more from the things you don't like than the things you do.
