I'm Very Serious About Acting.

I Have No Interest In Directing. I've No Talent For It.

I Grew Up In The Theater, And You Can't Improvise Shakespeare And Ibsen. You Have To Speak The Language. But Obviously, In A Contemporary Film, There's Often Room For Improvisation And Spontaneous Things That Happen. As Long As I Know What I'm Trying To Achieve In The Scene, And When Something Comes Up, I Know That The Response Is Genuine, I'm Comfortable. That's Really How I Build Everything.

That's Why, When Alias Came Along, I Knew I'd Be Ok If The Show Was On For Five Or Six Years Because The Writing Was So Good And The Creative Team Was So Strong.

The Stage Is Where I Feel Most Comfortable, And I Miss It All The Time.

I Believe That Acting In Any Medium Is The Same Thing, It's Discovering The Truth In Where You Are.
