A Good Movie Humanizes People.

I Did This Movie Right After It About The Life Of Chet Baker. It's Called Born To Be Blue. In That Situation, There's A Real Clear Character You're Drawing On. It's A Real Person. It's Really Exciting And Interesting To Do The Research To Figure Out How To Make That A Nuanced, Three-dimensional Human Being.

The Only Thing I Can Point To Of Why I Survived Is I Have A Family That Loves Me And Never Wanted Any Money From Me.

If You Can Understand The Inner Life, Then You Can Wear The Uniform, The Tattoos, Or Whatnot And Realize That The Things That Are Different About Us Become Superficial.

It Was A Really Strange Experience. It Was Very Creative For Alejandro Amenábar. It Was Almost Like It Was The Most I Ever Felt Like I Was Helping Someone Paint. They Had A Very Clear Idea Of What They Wanted It To Look Like, Sound Like, Be Like. So, There Was No Operating Outside The Box. The Only Way To Help Him Was To Try To Really Be A Part Of His Imagination And Try To Make It Happen. He's A Super Kind And Loving Person. So, You Wanted To Help Him. It Just Was None Of My Normal Ways Of Helping A Director Work At All. So, It Was A Unique Experience For Me That Way.

I Really Did Regression To Work With Alejandro [amenabar]. I Found Him Very Interesting. His Movie, The Others, Is One Of The Better Scary Movies Of The Last Period Of Time.
