After this interview, I'm going to immigration to try to sort out my Green Card, just like any other normal person.
I can understand there are things like shadows they need to fix after a shoot, but it's unfair to represent an image of yourself if it's not true. They're gonna see what you look like on film anyway, so why try to cover all your wobbly bits in a photo?
I'm on a health kick! I'm drawn to cheeseburgers, so I've got to just try and keep it on an even keel.
You feel very much like a puppet, but it had been what I was accustomed to - so you just get on with it and try to find something that rings true.
If you're in America a lot, it's easy to get into playing American. All of it, the sounds, the energies, all very different. But it's really hard to do the accent. I tend to try and stay in it all day, which is the only way I can manage it.
I do strive to find projects that are trying to carve out some new space. I enjoy projects that leap away from the crowd a little bit.
I'm Sudafed-ed up, but it's alright because I'm having to do this rather sultry scene, so maybe it's OK that my voice is three octaves lower.
It's always a little mind-boggling to realize that these famous actors know who I am.
The performances I enjoy are the ones that are hard to read or ambiguous or left-of-centre because it makes you look closer and that's what humans are like - quite mysterious creatures, hard to pinpoint.
The business is all about gush and hype. You never have a bad meeting in L.A.
Give us a break! I've hardly done anything but independent films.
A lot of period dramas can appear quite arch to most people, stuffy.
It's nothing to be ashamed of to have a stutter.
Cate's absolutely spellbinding. She was like that just eating a sandwich. I knew at the time I was privileged, but since she's become God's gift to actresses I realise exactly how lucky I was.
