I've done classical theaters. I played Hamlet myself and Romeo. ↗

I've had loss in my life, and I like to think my mother's energy lives on in some faintly Buddhist way. I do find some comfort there. ↗

If you think you don't want to play another psychopath, but the script is amazing, and the director is fantastic, and the story is incredible, then you may end up playing your third psychopath in a row. ↗

In the end, there's something of the puritan work ethic about me that roles really must sustain me on an intellectual level. ↗

There are ways of avoiding becoming tabloid fodder and therefore giving people license to pry into your private life. And there's a distinction between being an actor and being a celebrity. You may become a celebrity through acting, but you don't need to do so. ↗

Why do you think so many actors are only half-developed people? It's very easy when you're a young actor to have these intense, explosive friendships for short periods of time, because you can control what's shown of you. Then you go on to your next job and reinvent yourself again. I think it's important to find something constant. ↗

For as long as I can remember, the thing that gave me a sense of wonderment and renewal... has always been the work of other actors. ↗

I had a very vivid, almost hallucinatory moment in which I was engaged in a dialogue with my father. ↗
