The best way to learn anything is through a movie, because you have so much time to do it and you have great people teaching you.

If you start acting and you start thinking about and worrying about what other people are going to say about it, you'll never really fully commit to who it is and what it is that you're playing.

Suddenly playing the charming bad guy was my thing.

Just by the nature of what we do it kind of gets you out of the regularities of life. Playing pretend for a living is a good way to have a release and playing make believe is a good way of getting away from it and doing things like this. So I think work gets me away from life.

The more you think about something, the more important it becomes, the more important it is to you, and the more important it will become to the audience.

With any mannerisms or dialogue, you have to be careful you're not just serving yourself. What happens with improving is a lot of times, if you're not in the framework of the script, you're just making everything easier so it fits you. It's much more interesting and challenging to go to it, rather than it coming to you.

You're always - you're constantly learning things if you're the type of person who stays open and current.
