The greatest joy in getting ready for the film is that there aren't many reference points for the journey and you've got to define it for yourself.
When I was younger, I never wanted to rehearse because I thought that someone would figure out I don't know what I'm doing.
What I truly get excited about is not the genre of a movie or the size of a part - it's character. I like to find characters.
I have no problem having any actor from anywhere play a role. I'm excited for any actor that gets a job, I truly am. Even if it's a role that I'm up for and I don't get it, I never begrudge any actor having it work out for them.
