I grew up watching a lot of American television and so the American sound has been in my psyche somehow for a long time and is quite familiar and so that does make it easier.

An accent in a way can be an entry into a character.

We're all really happy with what's familiar. But what's inevitable in life is change. That's what life is.

I'm very happy with my lot. I like the variety I get. You don't want to spend your life repeating yourself. It's true of any kind of artist, you want to explore as wide and far as you can go, so that's what I've been trying to do.

There are actors who are really fantastically talented at being natural on screen and appearing to be themselves, but I like the challenge of becoming somebody else.

I've never really been a fan of violence.

I try to play real people who inspire me through something in their journey.
