The oceans are pretty unexplored places and the final frontier on our planet; also because they're the source of life. There are dramatic things happening to them at the moment, and they're worth exploring.

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.

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

I just pick the best roles that are left over, and they usually aren't the heterosexual, leading-man, non-drug-addict parts. And once you get into doing them, people know you do them.

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 like working with a first time director. I'm more likely to work with a first time director than I am a second time director.
