I Started My Career Without Fans.

Research Can Be Interesting, But It Can Be Pointless As Well. The Realities Of Making A Movie Often Are Not Conducive With That. I'm Not Knocking It. I Love Doing Research Myself, But I Admit It Doesn't Always Add To The Performance.

Planning A Career, I Always Find That Such A Tricky Thing, Because I Don't Have Much Of A Plan, Really.

What I Like About It Is That I'm Not Somebody Who's In Movies. I'm A Guy Who's Not Very Good Going Around The Track With A Bunch Of Guys Who Are A Hell Of A Lot Better.

I Don't Want To Know About The Lives Of Other Actors And I Don't Want People To Know Too Much About Me. If We Don't Know About The Private Lives Of Other Actors, That Leaves Us As Clean Slates When It Comes To Playing Characters. That's The Point, They Can Create These Other Characters And I Can Believe Them. I Think If You're A Good Enough Actor, That's The Way To Longevity In The Film Business. Keep Everybody Guessing.

I've Always Felt That I Would Rather See An Actor, Writer, Or Musician's Work, Rather Than Actually Know The Person. If You Know Too Much About An Artist, It Somehow Lessens Their Ability To Do Their Work As Well.
