From early childhood, my thrust was to get into the movies.

It's what I learn from the great actors that I work with. Stillness. That's all and that's the hardest thing.

I'm not a comedian. I don't make things funny if they're not funny. I don't invent funny stuff.

I don't have anybody telling me what to say. I have people who would suggest, maybe, that I shouldn't do this, that or the other, but that's strictly up to me.

I knew at an early age I wanted to act. Acting was always easy for me. I don't believe in predestination, but I do believe that once you get where ever it is you are going, that is where you were going to be.

I don't think you're going to get nominated every time you jump out of the box.

I gravitate towards gravitas.
