I Am Not The First Man Who

The Only Thing Hard About Being An Actor Is Being Out Of Work. So, When You Get A Job - That Part Ain't Hard At All.

Because The Character Is A Fiction, He's A Composite Of Other Contributors To The Science That Brought This Enzyme Therapy Through The Process. We Had The Opportunity To Make Him Up Out Of Those Things That Helped Tell The Story. We Wanted To Create Both Ally And Antagonist For John [in The Extraordinary Measures].

It Doesn't Matter To Me Whether I Go Back To Outer Space Or Not [while Acting]. The Job's The Same And I Don't Have Any Sort Of Genre Preferences. I'm Looking For A Good Story And A Good Character, Whether Earthbound Or Not.

I Don't Take Trouble At All To Conform A Screenplay To My Iconography. I Don't Say, "we Can't Do That - The Audience Wouldn't Accept It." I Try To Take The Limitations Of What Is Required To Play A Leading Character And Then Screw With Them.

I Don't Think Nostalgia Is Very Useful To Me. There Is A Story To Be Told, There's Behaviour To Create Or To Bring To The Screen That Will Help Tell That Story, And Nostalgia Is Just Not Really A Big Part Of My Emotional Package.
