“I am an actor through and through.”

“I try and do films I know I'm going to enjoy watching as well as being in.”

“Method acting is a label I don't really understand, because there's a method to everybody's acting.”

“להיות איש מכירות ולהיות שחקן לא היו דברים כל כך שונים: זה שיעור טוב לכסות את הרגשות שלך. אף אחד לא רוצה לקנות ממישהו שנראה מדוכא.”

“I got involved in script development from the beginning. It was nice to see how a film gets made right from the beginning. It was quite hands-on for me.”

“You grow up a lot in terms of your understanding of the industry and how to deal with the corporate things.”

“In terms of jumping into a character's skin, I try to immerse myself in the role as much as possible to bring me closer to them. All I do is what's required to achieve what I want to achieve.”

“It's nice to be asked to do good projects.”

“It's difficult to get films made, especially films about poets.”

“I don't like acting things; I like feeling things.”

“Sometimes it is easier to play someone who is far away from you.”

“I tend to do golf charity things because it's much safer and you don't get much chance of a broken arm or leg.”

“Sometimes you just can't walk away from films you're offered, like the Dylan Thomas thing.”

“My focus never wavered; I never accepted the film was not going to be finished.”
