I Don't Necessarily Like Being Defined By

I Just Felt Like I Had To Create A Life For Myself Where I Was More Independent.

When I Was In My 20s And 30s, There Was Such A Variety And Diversity Of Types Of Films That You Could See. So Many Of Them Were Really More About The Human Condition And About Relationships Between People, And They Were Smaller Films That Had A Much Greater Impact On Me As A Human Being.

In The Theater, Actors Are The Essential Element Of The Work. In A Film, It's A Real Collaboration - Not That Theater Isn't, Because It Is - But It's A Collaboration To Such An Extent That You Can Give A Performance In Film That Sometimes You Look At And You Go, "well, That's Not The Performance I Was Trying To Give At All."

I Try To Offer As Much As I Can To The Director So He Has As Much To Work With As Possible To Create The Character That, Really, He Wants To Create In A Sense.

You Want To Move Into Worlds You've Never Been In Before. It Would Be Like Going To The Same Restaurant All The Time Or Going To The Same Place For Vacation All The Time. Where Is The Adventure In That?
