I love to work in all sorts of different situations.
I just want to say, 'Go work! It doesn't matter what it is. Work begets work. Just go!'
I have an instinct to want to be part of a group of people. I feel safe there. That's why I was in school for so long.
We're living in a time when everyone is so certain ... to me, it's OK not to have the answers. The argument of the movie is, 'Is it possible?' And I did a lot of reading about these things and I don't know the answer. What do you do with objects moving in rooms? People speaking languages that they don't know? Animals appearing out of nowhere?
A year ago, if someone told me I'd be getting this, I wouldn't believe it. This is a huge, huge thing for me. I just feel so damn good.
I was curious about making this movie because the genres are put together, ... I'm attracted to stuff I think is going to be difficult to pull off, and the stuff that I'm a little afraid of.
I find the whole disdain for ageing crazy.
I think everyone's experience with a terminal disease is so deeply personal and unique to the person, the context in which they're living and the relationships that they have.
I can scarcely stand to have a manicure. I have to have them because you don't want to look like a disgusting human being - it's self-care and it has to happen, but I get very restless.
Fortunately, I'm in a perfect position for me. I'm able to work, have a wonderful time, and I'm not really a celebrity, and that's great.
He doesn't try too hard and, consequently, it's because he is knitted to the work, he knows what his job is and his job is really serving the material first.
Some of the best interviews are when it's with a creative peer,
I tend not to think that way though I wish I could. There are certainly playwrights whose work I would like to have the opportunity to work on, such as O'Neil and Williams and to have the experience of having that repertoire, because I think every actor should have a go at that sort of stuff.
I hope it gets more people in to see the movie. For those who worked so hard and care about it so much, that's really the most important thing.
