| Quotes: |
I've had really a great choice of roles that have been very different from one another. And I think I kind of set out to do that when I began my career - to aim to never play the same thing twice.
<br />
<hr>
Sometimes it's easy to do brave things in front of a thousand people, but it's hard to do them in front of a handful. It feels so much more exposing.
<br />
<hr>
I honestly do think that every character - you pick up the things, little things that you like about them in your life. Especially if you play a character for a long time.
<br />
<hr>
I used to buy things for every hotel room or every place I lived in to make it feel like home.
<br />
<hr>
One of the things I have loved so much about the career that I have had is that pretty much every character I have played is diametrically opposite to the one before it. |
