I learned early on to abandon all those preconceived notions you have about other actors and it's served me really well. I usually just try to empty my mind of that. I love meeting actors and I love working with actors.

Marathon running, for me, was the most controlled test of mettle that I could ever think of. It's you against Darwin.

I think you have to let go of this idea that you can be precious about everything, and let it be the abstract mess that it is.

I think we know too much about actors as it is and their personal lives and it's this information age where we're stimulated constantly by the celebrity buzz effect or whatever it is, these web sites and blogs and different things.
