One of the things I did early on in film was over-enunciate and talk too loud.

I got an agent. He said, what do you wanna do, and I said, I want an Oscar nomination. That's your job, that's what I'm paying you for. And I got it.

I love directors who talk action as opposed to emotion.

I think theater is powerful. The best experiences I had in the theater are more powerful than the best experiences I had in movies.

I'll tell you this about the Oscars - they're real.

So much of the violence in the movies is b.s. violence: A guy in the middle of a large city with 14 people lying on the ground that he's just killed with his superhuman powers, and there's not a cop to be found. Not a siren to be heard. No price to be paid. That's not true, and I don't like that sort of stuff.

What I've discovered is, really, acting is acting is acting. It's all the same. Seventy-five percent of the skills are the same in both media.
