It's mostly directors whom I get starstruck around.

In my experience, directors who are the most comfortable with themselves and confident in their work give you and everybody on the crew the freedom and the space to create. It's the people who are more insecure who feel the need to control and micromanage.

My chosen occupation isn’t necessarily movie star; I see my chosen occupation as actor.

I think the mark of a good director is that they surround themselves with good people.

It sounds really corny but every film that you do is its own journey, it's its own experience, it's its own thing. Often you think it's going to be one way and then it goes another way - you think you can chart a character and then other things happen. That's the amazing thing about our jobs, it's constantly changing and it's extremely dynamic and you therefore have to be dynamic as well.

You want to be a part of something that is going to change history or make history or be bigger than yourself.
