Well, The First Thing I Wanted To Be Was A Carpenter. Then I Wanted To Be A Painter And Then A Singer. It Was When I First Saw 'lawrence Of Arabia' That I Wanted To Be An Actor.

I've Worked With A Lot Great Directors Who Have Huge Resumes, But I'm Really Trying To Be Active In My Career In Supporting The New Generation Of Cinema. I Like Taking Some Time To Try To Support And Be A Part Of That.

I Want My Audience To Say, "wow, This Is A Film I'm Benefiting From. I'm Benefiting From What This Filmmaker Is Trying To Say." I'd Always Rather Learn And Be Entertained Than Be Entertained And Feel Myself Getting Dumber By The Moment.

If I'm Able To Catch The Screening, There's A Point In The Film Where, Like Clockwork, A Portion Of The Audience Gets Really Emotional And Begins To Cry. And That's Very Difficult To Make Happen.

Every Director Is Different And They All Have Different Styles. I've Worked With Directors Who Were Very Specific And They Gave A Lot Of Direction. The One Thing About Michael [haneke]that I Think Is Interesting Is That He Really Has A Reason For Everything He's Asking You. If You Challenge It, He Is Open For Discussion But He Has A Clear Idea Of What He Wants With Reasons Why.
