Turn Off The Sound In A Movie,

I'm Never In Hollywood! I'm A Theatre Actor That Lives In New York. I'm Very Seldom In Los Angeles. I Don't Dislike La, I Just Don't Think It's A Very Healthy Place For Me To Be All The Time. When I'm Shooting A Movie There And Am Working I'm Perfectly Happy. But When I'm Not Working Or Engaged In Something It's A Place That I Wouldn't Live.

As You Get Older, You Suffer Fools Less Easily. That's Why There's All Those Cranky Character Actors. I'm An Exception. I'm A Sweetheart.

Mounting Those Red Stairs [in Cannes] Is Something I've Done With A Very Different Intention Many Times. So It's Interesting Any Time You Witness Those Shifts Of Perspective. The Beach Scenes Were Also Fun. It Felt Very Strange And Very Theatrical To Kind Of Commandeer It And Have La Mer Booming Over The Speakers.

The Midwest Isn't Somewhere You Mix With Those From The Performing Arts. But My Mum And Dad Would Go Off To Chicago Every So Often To See Shows. They Would Bring Back The Albums And The Movies, Those Little Eight Metres, And We Would All Watch. I Think That Was When I Fell In Love With Acting.

I'm More Interested In Talking About What I Do. And I Don't Think People Are Interested In My Personal Life. I've Never Had A Hollywood Life. I've Always Been A Worker. But It's True: If You Know Something About A Person Outside Of The Movie That Is Really Repulsive To You, It's Hard To Shake. So I Prefer To Do My Speaking Through The Work. I Don't Want People To Know Anything About Me, Because That's Not Important. I'm More Interested In The Me That Takes Shape Through These Characters. The Other Stuff Is Personal And Too Easy To Trivialize Out Of Context.
