By the time I'm 80, I want to have played almost every role, ... For me, I always gravitate toward the opposite of what I've done. ... That comes from the inner desire to do more.
By the time I'm 80, I want to have played almost every role,
I always think a good sports movie is emblematic in the same way that a great Greek tragedy really has a certain kind of structure, or a Shakespearean play if you're looking at a comedy or a tragedy, is that these are the heights and depths of human emotion.
I find often in Hollywood there are many people who play themselves really beautifully. And certain parts are not that dissimilar from who you are as a person. And there are other parts where you would like to think that you have nothing in common with those characters, but you probably do have more than you think.
My tendency as an actor is, when there's a certain energy, I feel a challenge to match it, to come up to that plate and play on the same level.
I think the scariest thing to me is to think that somebody would only associate me with one character and that that's all that I would get to play.
I generally make a sort of playlist for my iPod for whatever project I'm doing.
I'm really fascinated by someone who chooses worst-case scenarios as a profession. Someone who obviously thrives on crisis,
What I've realized is that we're our own harshest critics. We give ourselves limitations. But I want to push through that wall, on a creative and personal level.
It's a really ambitious show and that to me is really exciting, ... It's something that really feels like its own, while paying homage to other things.
It was cool to play an empowered woman, one of the most important persons on the planet.
I really love pouring myself into a character for several months and leaving her, ... Pouring myself into someone for a long time is very intimidating to me,
I guess I've always been really attracted to period pieces and always felt visually I was probably more made for the '50s or the early '60s than I am for a modern day.
Yeah, I guess I'm not a particularly religious person, but I do really believe strongly that we all need to believe in something, and that's very personal to each one of us.
