And once you cease to be a real person, you stop being a good actor.

I was a swimmer growing up. I was a miler - like long, long distance. So I was in the water for four or five hours a day. That's not the way you want to spend your teenage years.

If you don't live a normal life, how do you relate to people?

Every movie is different. Sometimes with movies, there are roles you should just leave alone and relax with and keep it light. And there are other ones where you want to work with an acting coach and really delve in there.

I'm not as eager to go just work to work. I have another life outside of it, and if I'm pretty sure the movie's not going to have a life, or if it's not a director I believe in, then I probably will say no.

I'd rather not make films than make bad ones.

I don't see the point in signing on to do something and then leaving.
