I think it is a quest of literature throughout the ages to describe the human condition.

For example, the face of Nicole Kidman in Queen of the Desert and she is the most beautiful goddess on screen that you can find anywhere around in the world. There's no imperfections, and yet I don't need to know every single pore in her face.

When I film, there are no emotions. That would be the last thing.

I work very fast and steadily, and I don't hardly ever notice that I'm working. It feels like just breathing or walking when I do films.

I think I would be a good villain in a James Bond movie.

I had complete freedom. They [Netflix] knew roughly what I was doing.

I do whatever pushes me hardest. It's coming at me and I try to... it's like uninvited guest and I have to wrestle them out the door or through the window - get them out and get over with them quickly.
