If no one on the movie has met me before or knows me, that's the easiest. I don't do a lot of things that don't relate to being the person. I will try to keep it going for my other actors. I want them to do the least amount of pretending as possible.

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.

Four hours of makeup, and then an hour to take it off. It's tiring. I go in, I get picked up at two-thirty in the morning, I get there at three. I wait four hours, go through it, ready to work at seven, work all day long for twelve hours, and get it taken off for an hours, go home and go to sleep, and do the same thing again.

I always think change is important in a character. The most dynamic choices that you can make for a character are always the best ones.

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

Who would I least want to hang out with? Probably John Lotter. I guess I have a place of understanding for everyone I've played.

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