What I do believe in is the moral code of Christianity.
Writing and directing might be a red herring, and really I'm just re-examining what it is to act, to do it well and do it properly.
L.A. still ranks as one of my guilty pleasures, along with butter-pecan ice cream and Coldplay albums.
A lot of these American actors have this - in my view - misplaced view that they have to look like Action Man. The trouble is, they all run the risk of being interchangeable.
Quiet people, people who arent given to emotional outbursts, people who are economic with words - theyre also fun to play, but you find yourself needing a laser precision in those roles. Otherwise you just sort of stand around, looking slightly brain-dead. You worry about being uninteresting.
