"As an actor, you ask yourself what you can do to put yourself in a position where you can play that role."

"I always want to do things that are different. I dont want to be doing the same thing, the same performance constantly, and it feels like most people tell you they are the same. However different you feel might approach them."

"America afforded me the chance to play Dean Martin, to be in a thriller or a sci-fi. But its a daunting place, a hard place. I was happy to work there, but I never felt at home."

"Surely the job of fiction is to actually tell the truth. Its a paradox thats at the heart of any kind of storytelling."

"Ive never had a desire to be famous. Lots of actors are actually extremely shy. I have shy areas."
