If all the circumstances of acting are made to easy, then there's no grain of sand to make the pearl.

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.

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

I would like to sail across the Atlantic. I would like the experience of being that far away from land.

I still consider myself a young actor, I'm 34; I still view it as the beginning of my career. You can get infatuated with acting in a way that makes you less an actor than an acting appreciator.

I think one of the things that might distinguish me is when I'm going to work as an actor I really try not to worry about my own personal hang-ups and just really concentrate on the work. Because I have such a respect for acting, which is something I feel like I'm constantly learning how to do, that all of my energy is always focused on the acting itself.

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.
