I suppose there must be some way in which I'm compelled to show some side of myself - or of people - that's paranoid and fraught and beleaguered and downtrodden, just as Tom Cruise wants to show that he's terrifyingly upbeat and terrifyingly heroic all the time.

I learned how to fire a sniper rifle, which I'm sure will be useful at some point.

I think I have a tendency to overwork things. I have a hard time finding that sweet spot that most actors seem to be able to hit where they're doing the exact right amount of work, not overthinking, not underdoing it. I seem to either overdo it or underdo it.

Academia is a rarified culture, especially an Ivy League academic background.

You are absolutely free to describe me as a turtle or something.

I never thought I would have any particular career in movies at all.

I like playing weird, kind of shady people.
