Science fiction is a way that I can go into the abstract, go into the imagination, and audiences are still willing to go along for the ride.
creative trying way
I do tend to apply myself to projects that make me uncomfortable because usually when that happens I try to find a way of existing in the project that is more creative.

I believe that there's a way to question authority with manners, with dignity. There's no reason to be rude about it.
age acting way
I got into film acting because I wanted to be James Dean. We lost him at a very young age - he was only 24 - but I'm in my fifthies, so there's only so many times you can act like James Dean. I had to find new ways of expressing myself that kept me fascinated with film performance.
