I'll read a script maybe twice, but I'll think about the role more than I'll rehearse lines.

I try to take off the rose-colored glasses and view it in all facets, but I probably would be lying if I didn't say that probably the way in for a film with me is the performance. But I have been on juries where you have to give Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography. So you do have to put on several different hats and I try to broaden my scope. And what's great is, when you're in a room full of people who are not your milieu, so to speak, you find yourself speaking in a way that you do discover a slightly discerning eye.

I have to watch the news or my day is not complete.

But I have had the luxury of working on good films with great people.

I always try to approach character first and foremost viscerally.

In 8th grade I started doing theatre and I remember it was as though I had taken a trip to a foreign land that I had never seen before yet felt completely at home. I remember feeling a genuine wave of happiness and of feeling complete.

Talent is a very potent aphrodisiac. When someone is incredibly gifted, I find them incredibly sexy.
