Turn off the sound in a movie, and if you can tell what's going on, the movie should work.

Sometimes I say I feel more like a dancer than an actor, because there are things implied about being an actor that I don't really like. I feel more comfortable with the word 'performer'. I like being the thing. I like being the doer. There's a factualness to it. And then certain resonances happen out of how you apply yourself physically.

If you get stuck and it feels a little stiff, then you do have to mess it up to find it. But other times it's really written and you just stick to your guns and do it as elegantly and as concentrated and as committed as you can.

I feel like it's important to be flexible, particularly when I'm coming in late in the game and I'm connective tissue in the story. I'm not at the very center. It's important for me to have a certain kind of flexibility and try to help people do what they need to do.

The truth is, if you're around long enough, you have a story about everyone. But it's best to keep your mouth shut sometimes.

Socially, I like the idea of sitting in a theater with a bunch of people.

When you have something to work with, then you fly with it.
