I'm a games and theory kind of guy. I love puzzles, so it was fun dissecting Shakespeare's prose.

Babies just change everything. You have to become super-selfless and super-tired and super-amenable to change. They just change all the time.

I love physical stuff. I love circusy, weird, breathing fire and bucket-listy things.

I think, in life, being nervous about something that's forthcoming is very helpful, whether it's an awards show or a family gathering or a job interview. If you're too calm and confident, then I think you aren't executing to the best of your ability. So I try not to let nerves get the best of me, but I welcome them because it tends to fuel me to try harder.

The hardest part of playing the villain was the prosthetics, because I couldn't really move my face as much as I wanted to, and yet I had to move my face a lot. If I moved my face in certain ways the prosthetics would come apart, so I could do a lot of eyebrow acting, but I couldn't do a lot of nose lifting, or the corners of the nose would pop out.
