I certainly would never overstep my bounds and make suggestions to a director. As an actor I'm trying to fit to the best of my abilities within the director's vision, and trying to find some happy rapport where we can both bring something to it that's fresh. Usually I've been lucky in working with directors who have trusted my instincts.

I really would like to be able to face all my superstitions that may have existed and walk under the ladder and do everything you're not supposed to do.

When I work, I really try to get absorbed in the character. Unless I want to do something playful with the camera, I'm not too worried about where the camera is or positions.

I try to keep my characters raising more questions than giving answers. I don't want to leave too much on the table. I want you to have your connection and your secret understanding of the character.

Shock is still fun. I won't ever shut the door on it.

I believe that there's a way to question authority with manners, with dignity. There's no reason to be rude about it.

When you have 400 people watching you making a movie, it doesn't go where you want it to go. It's a lot of pressure.
