I like anything that is like an obstruction, something that I have to act through is good.

Words are words, but the way an actor says them, the way it's framed, puts you either in the world that looks a lot like ours or one that doesn't seem a lot like ours, one that can be farcical or one that can't.

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

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 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've always looked at the world as a place where people have done evil things. There are people in the world, for instance, that would describe Americans as evil.

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