I would really love to direct one day. I think there are certain actors who love the character and the performance and that's all they want to be a part of.
I think that's how any actor would make their performance convincing: by bringing an element of themselves into the character.
In every character that you play... I mean, I don't think I'll ever be the type of actor or performer per se who transforms, you know? Like Claire Danes transforms into Temple Grandin - I'm not gonna do that.
I don't like actors who try to talk directors into making their part bigger and that's really lame.
I was a repertory actor, which meant that I did a play every week. I was a different character every week; for a year, I was doing 40 or 50 characters.
Whenever there were parties, I wasn't invited because I began to be like that character. In a way, that contributed to the success of the performance.
That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.
There are a lot of films where I play characters that are about the windows to the interior person rather than the exterior.
Acting is not acting. It isn't putting on a face and dancing around in a mask. It's believing that you are that character and playing him as if it were a normal day in the life of that character.
