So hopefully that (situation) will continue and I won't have to come back, ... I would much rather work in Europe than America.
I sort of took my career and destroyed it,
was a very lonely experience, but it was supposed to be.
This is a fairytale version, ... They're con men.
This felt like something that hadn't been done.
I wasn't prepared to expose stories about something so special and wonderfully private that is happening in my life. I guess a part of me wishes that I'd never have to and that maybe I could protect this special time. I was dreaming.
I flipped through his journals and then it was (history) out the window. We were making it into a romp. We wanted to have a clean slate and just have fun.

I had such a great experience with Terry on The Brothers Grimm that I vowed I'd look for other roles and films that would challenge me and offer me roles I'd never tackled before. I really wanted to stretch myself as an actor.
Casanova was a person who really fell in love with every woman, as opposed to Don Juan, ... I also have an appreciation for love -- just not that many.
I felt this was such a refreshing story of love. For me, our characters were also complex, and to...really investigate this form of humanity and expression of love was an opportunity that I hadn't had.
It's the most exciting time of my life,
It took a delicate man to tell this story, and that's you.
And I love Matt and I loved working with him, ... He's a generous person, he's a generous actor, and (smirking) he's a fantastic tango dancer.
