That singular uncompromising nature I think is always quite attractive, not just for an actor to play, we're attracted to uncompromising people whether they're nice or not, because they're 3D, they're solid, you can define them, it's not wishy washy.

I think the most romantic thing you can do is just turn up. Turn up when its difficult for you. Travel halfway around the world or just up the road. Whatever it is, just be there.

The minute you start to strategize too much, the more you start to think you're in control of your own fate. And you're not, really.

Basically, every character I've ever played, I've based entirely on internal conflict. And I love doing that, because I think it's very human.

I think fear is one of the natural states of most actors, to be honest.

It's quite liberating to have a director stand beside the camera and say: "Do this now, and do that now..." It's also a bit sordid but it liberates an actor, I think.

I think I'm losing my hair finally. And, yeah, that's kind of all I know.
