When you come to actually act, it's a game. It may be a very serious game, but it's still a game. If you lose that sense of play, the work suffers.

My own daughter is a big fan of the 'Twilight' stories, the books.

So, if they're coming in and having to do scenes that involve nudity or sexuality, in some way, the utmost important thing is that everyone feels comfortable and safe. If there's any gray area, that's going to be a problem.

'Hamlet' is one of the most dangerous things ever set down on paper. All the big, unknowable questions like what it is to be a human being; the difference between sanity and insanity; the meaning of life and death; what's real and not real. All these subjects can literally drive you mad.

A lot of the times when I've auditioned for parts in America, the answer is, 'Sorry, we need a bigger name.'

I don't find the life in Hollywood all that meaningful or inspiring.

We live in a bubble of the fantasy of death, but the reality of it is something that we obviously all face and have to deal with, at some point.
