I'm Far More Comfortable In My 40s

Having A Partner Who Has Nothing To Do With Hollywood Helps Keep Things In Perspective.

I've Not Often Been A Man Of Many Words. I've Never Considered Myself To Be Overly Articulate. I Do Feel More Comfortable Acting Something Out Than I Do Explaining Something Or Whatever.

When I Read Something, I Want To Be Surprised. So I Read Something And Go, "wow, I Never, Ever Would Have Thought Of Playing This Kind Of Role. This Is Exciting Me, Let's Go Do This."

Sometimes I'll Go For Something More Because Of The Story, Or More Because Of The Director. But, Generally, I Have To Feel Like It's Something That I Have A Real Sympathy For - A Person That I Can Completely Go, "oh, Wow, Oh, I'm There." Otherwise I Don't Feel Like I Will Be Able To Pull It Off At All. I Know I Haven't Done Everything Very Well In The Past; Some Things Have Worked And Some Things Haven't. But I Need To Feel Like I Can Feel About The Person, Understand That Person, I Suppose.

Every Time You Say Yes To A Film There's A Certain Percentage Of Your Yes That Has To Do With The Director, A Certain Percentage To Do With The Story, A Certain Percentage With The Character, The Location, Etc.
