• I'm not attracted to naturalism, I'm not attracted to behavior, I'm attracted to dance. I'm attracted to gesture, I'm attracted to singing with your voice, as opposed to having a natural manner. I'm a theater actor first, so that probably influences a lot of my approach. And I think in many ways, naturalism has ruined movies.

• If you know what it is before you even start, it's not as interesting. Central to being an actor is pretending, and the adventure of it all. That's why you become a junkie for different kinds of situations. I try to attach myself to people who really inspire me, and directors who are really passionate. That way, I can give myself more fully and trust the impulse behind why the film is being made, and I can be a little more irresponsible in finding out what the character is. I have to worry less about what the character means if I trust the director.

• Me interesa más hablar de lo que hago. Y no creo que a la gente le interese mi vida personal. Nunca he tenido una vida de Hollywood. Siempre he sido un trabajador. Pero es cierto: si sabes algo de una persona fuera de la película que te resulta realmente repulsivo, es difícil quitártelo de encima. Así que prefiero hablar a través del trabajo. No quiero que la gente sepa nada de mí, porque eso no es importante. Me interesa más el yo que toma forma a través de estos personajes. Lo demás es personal y demasiado fácil de trivializar fuera de contexto.
