I think it's more important to try and make a good film than give a good performance.

Of course I think it's a movie for everybody [Insane Farting Corpse], but that's probably just because it's a movie for me.

I approach every role from scratch.

If you could call me buff, my version of buff was when I finished that film [Swiss Army Man].
Paul Dano
Image
I would say that the emotional content of the film [Swiss Army Man] took me by surprise, and sometimes I would probably want to capture the unique tone of it.

As your career progresses, you hope that you get some more opportunity, or some more choice.

Everything you do, every experience that you have, enlightens you a little bit or worsens you.

Being actors is a strange job. To try to go live that out, it's a very strange thing to want to do when you step back and think about it.

I remember going to the theatre when I was little and the lights going down and just getting really scared about what was going to happen up there.

You try to get to know your character as best as you can before you start filming - whats written and not written.

My first thought about acting, growing up here in New York, was theater, and I feel like I need to force myself to go get my ass kicked in a rehearsal room and do one of those plays at some point.

It's a constant learning process - not just what you need to learn for the character or as far as good actors - but as an actor, there's no limit. Every time now, you're learning so, I think that's a good thing though.

On set, the playground for the character, how much it takes varies. Is it like ballet, is it like jazz? The content always lends itself to the form, and it's really not mathematics.

Sometimes it's summer camp on location. So it's nice to have a little New York community of people you love.

I think there was a lot of working out the arc of how Manny [Daniel Radcliffe] talks. Scene to scene [in the Swiss army Man], if I would start talking a little too well, they would come in and say like, Hey, you need to [dial back] your ability to speak - things like that.

I feel like having something that you're passionate about helps to keep you young.

I dont normally like getting dressed up, but when I go to events, I like to look put together. Ive got to say, getting in a nice suit feels good.

I like purple too. I looked up color psychology before doing any house painting, because I was curious what the colors I like mean. And purple is very royal and creative.

I'm really excited to share the movie [Swiss Army Man] with people, so I'm glad that people are seeing it. And I want them to, because I think it's a really fun movie to experience sitting next to people. It makes it funnier. It makes it more comfortable. It makes it sweeter.

Michael Caine is so happy. Happy and healthy. I think he enjoys life. I think he's 82 now, and I have no clue if I'll be working at that age.
