Thousands of women were falling in love with him all the time. So when he finally finds a woman who isn't attracted to any of that, that's what really devastates him, and interests him.
I want to do theatre. I love theatre.
I love acting and I have a lot of fun.
Casanova was a person who really fell in love with every woman, as opposed to Don Juan, ... I also have an appreciation for love -- just not that many.
I felt this was such a refreshing story of love. For me, our characters were also complex, and to...really investigate this form of humanity and expression of love was an opportunity that I hadn't had.
May I ask your name, my lady? Or perhaps angels have no names, only beautiful faces.
And I love Matt and I loved working with him, ... He's a generous person, he's a generous actor, and (smirking) he's a fantastic tango dancer.
Working in Venice was like a four-month guided tour of the city. It was like shooting a film inside a museum.
We were trying to contrast each other a little bit. We wanted to present different qualities as brothers, but also have similarities ... like the fact that we wouldn't stand with these brave faces in the face of danger. We would scream like little girls, cower and run away.
I was really lucky that my character was uncomfortable with it and knew it too. So I could use my own level of discomfort, because it was new and strange for me, and that worked for me.
I wasn't prepared to expose stories about something so special and wonderfully private that is happening in my life. I guess a part of me wishes that I'd never have to and that maybe I could protect this special time. I was dreaming.
My character was extremely lonely and I think I carried that feeling through the whole filming experience.
It was like shooting a movie inside a museum.
It took a delicate man to tell this story, and that's you.
