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 ... ?"

I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that.

I suppose things are better now, but ... I don't know. People still hate each other, they just know how to hide it better.

My greatest hope was to get discovered as a comedian and get on a sitcom.

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.
