What you aim for, as an actor, is to be able to play a range of different roles.

I come from the south, so you're useless and you're a bit pathetic. That's the first thing that the northerners think of you.

Hollywood is no longer the top. I love going to the cinema. I've always adored the idea of being in great, epic films. But they just don't really exist anymore. It's a real shame. There's great auteurs that create small movies, but it's really hard for anyone to see them, and for them to make any sort of money, or for them even to be made in the first place.
