I was always ambitious. I always wanted to be more than I was....I always wanted to be a movie actor.

I avoid seeing myself while I'm working on role so I won't see "me."

My approach to acting is that I am totally intuitive. I read the script and I get it. If I don't get it, I can't do it.

I always knew that someone was going to come at me with a script to play God. It's just one of those things, the way your career is unfolding and all the talk about gravitas etc etc, so I had a strong feeling that someone was going to offer me the part of God. I was totally prepared to say, 'Thanks but no thanks,' unless it was a comedy.

I understand that when Gary Oldman was in that suit [Batman], sweat would just drip off of him where they had to have holes in the gloves or something.

The reason actors, artists, writers have agents is because we'll do it for nothing. That's a basic fact - you gotta do it.

Every job's a challenge. The challenge is to do it and make it look right, like you belong there - wherever that is.
