It doesn't matter what part I play, I try and commit myself 100 percent.

Nothing's really changed for me over the years. I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that. Relationships are interesting to me. Not just between men and women but fathers and sons, brothers and sisters and friends.

I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it. Actually, when I did theater, I used to have a partner, and that was the way we used to write a lot of our sketches, through improvisation. So it's something I feel comfortable with.

I never made a daring rescue, which is the story people want to hear. I did go to my share of fires.

I've had dentists who have wanted to help me out, but I say, 'You know, I won't work again if you fix my teeth.'

I just like playing interesting, complex, complicated characters. I like films that also have an element of humor.

Casting is everything. Getting the person that you imagined is this character and then seeing what they bring to it.That's why you hire them, so why tell somebody first what it is you want? I'm more curious to see what they bring to it and then be inspired by it and say: "OK, what if you tried this?" or "What would happen if ... ?"
