The actor has the advantage - or the liability - of knowing, "It's going to be my face up there on the frickin' screen, so I better keep my wits about me. Nobody's going to care that I was bad because I was not happy. They're only going to know I'm bad."

I'm sure I have a process, but it mostly takes place in my dreams.

It was my first impulse, but I chose to play the priest as a true believer who was an absolute man of faith that absolutely supports the church.

To a certain extent. I'm a fan of rehearsal on the day [of the shoot], more than getting together a week beforehand.

I introduced myself to Scorsese and I said, "If you need someone to do craft services, I'm there."

When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.

It's hard on an actor when you have to do a scene 45 times and you know damn well that three of the angles a director is shooting will never make it into the movie.
