I don't blame any director for wanting to do something more commercial. That's all part of the business. I certainly have done it, as an actor.

I don't think about the characters I choose to play, analytically or consciously.

Do you think god stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created here on earth?

I had a magic kit. I never really followed through on it, but I had my phase of wanting to do it, sure.

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.

It wasn't until my senior year in high school that I started acting.
