For me, I always have to establish a reality for the character. In very actor-y terms, you just have to understand his reality.

I think the balance is between what you can get, what you want and what wants you.

You have to know what you're shooting. Don't just make your movie in the editing room and just get everything you can on the day.

There are tons of different reasons why you do TV series and why you don't, and how it'll affect your career, and all that. Without a doubt, it has always come down to the script for me. I'm an actor who wants to do great parts, and I've been very fortunate, for a long time, to get meaty roles.

You never want to judge your character.

Emasculation does seem to be a theme in the roles that I choose.

The blessing and the curse of not having a huge hit... you can go in and out of roles and some people know who you are and some people don't. I'd love for one of these movies to be super successful because then at least you're presented with more opportunities.
