One of the things I really love about TV is this symbiotic relationship you can get between the writers and the actors, and the characters start to come to life because you start to collaborate.
When a sports movie really works, it gets you on all levels, because the stakes are high. It's black and white. It's win or lose.
I think I'm always trying to subvert conventions, and sometimes it's more successful than others.
I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an undistilled vision.
I kind of knew it wasn't going to be until my 30s that I really hit my stride as an actor.
You know, I used to be made fun of as a kid for being really articulate; it was sort of like a strange thing.
