I've just always been a fan of really fringy, outsider things, and I've always been a balloon in the wind, in terms of where that takes me.

I'm not a guy who likes cliches. I don't think that stereotypes and cliches are the end of the line, when it comes to a performance.

I'm the kind of guy who would say, Yeah, I'll do that!, and then, when it came down to it, I would be absolutely petrified. Those days have passed me by, but I would do it. If it meant that I was in a scene naked with a woman, or anybody romantic, I'd be into it.

The actor in me always wants to link himself to a leader who's inspired.

You shouldn't need 60 full minutes to create a portrait that an audience doesn't forget. You should be able to make an impression that's lasting and resonant with one scene.

I love any challenge that comes my way, and I've been lucky to have many.
