I frequently gravitate toward characters that have some urgency or soul.

Usually the way I think someone is radicalized is through a personal experience. The thing about environmental activism is that we are all having a personal experience with our environment, whether we open our eyes or not.

To me, one of the main things that a director does is create the tone of his movie.

I tend to lose my performance energy the longer things go on for, so I'm always best on the very first take.

I see how people boss other actors around to try to get a scene favorable to them. I absolutely just never engage in doing that. If someone's going to do it to me, I just let them have it.

I don't spend a lot of time judging anyone I play. Even if their function in the script is to be the villain, I concentrate on what their perspective of the events is. Not even to justify them.

I don't really worry about being typecast much. I mean, everyone in Hollywood is typecast to a degree.
