Still, The Change Is Nearly Indescribable -

I Think Marrying Somebody Who's Not A Celebrity, It Just Takes A Lot Of The Pressure Off.

The Danger Of Course Is Always Is Caricature. The Biggest Challenge Was To Sound Like Nelson Mandela. Everything Else Is Easy To Do, Walk Like Him. He Has A Few Ticks And Things I Noticed That I Picked Up. I Didn't Have Any Agenda, As It Were, In Playing The Role Other Than To Bring It As Close To Reality As I Possibly Could.

Most Films And Directors Lose Their Nerve And Want To Indicate [emotions] A Bit More, To Show That Their Story Is Clear. I'm Not Saying That's A Good Thing; As An Actor Its Anathema To Good Acting, But To Have Someone With The Confidence To Say That Should I Be Utterly Natural And Minimalist Is Great.

Now That I Have Kids, I'm Probably More Overprotective Than I've Ever Been. My Wife's Nickname For Me Is "red Alert." I Sometimes Check Just To See If The Kids Are Breathing. But I Try Not To Be A Helicopter Parent.

I Think What Makes A Good Actor's Director Is Somebody Who Understands What I'm Doing And Is Respectful Of It, But Who Also Has A Vision And Is Directing Me Toward Their Vision In A Way That Feels Productive.
