When you look at something that's so extraordinary, like a man who is traveling back in time to prevent JFK's assassination, for me as an actor, you're still trying to seed it in some sort of reality.

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

I really like directors who give you a certain amount of autonomy because I think a lot about my characters and I think a lot about scenes and choices.

The way I sometimes approach my work, when I look at a script for the first time, is to identify what the archetypes are and what the writing is trying to do in that context.

It's mostly directors whom I get starstruck around.

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

You often have a great director who's like, "Well, actually I don't even want to reveal you until the end of this scene" or something like that and it totally changes everything that you thought it was going to be.
