I just sort of take it from a character perspective, and I don't know if he was necessarily spiritual, but I do think he had hope. He was a character that was comfortable having hope in his life, and hope is faith.

I started reading all these men's magazines, trying to follow all the tips: what you're supposed to wear, what you're supposed to have, things you're supposed to say, and all the exercises you're supposed to do.

I try not to discriminate against genres.

I never was that boy who loved gangster films, but when I was growing up, I was obsessed with the detective Dick Tracy. It was one of my favourite movies as a kid, and he really inspired me. I would have loved to be part of that golden age of Hollywood in the 1940s. It made me want to become an actor.

If the character is true, the movie will fall into place. Or at least that's what you hope.

I think we're very complicated and we're capable of all kinds of things, and movies don't reflect that.

If you're making a movie about the effects of time, you kind of have to engage time as the main character.
