For an actor to have a role that they're recognized and remembered for over the years, it's unusual. It's very lucky if it happens once - and it's luck that it's happened to me a couple of times.

The whole of my acting career is a bit of a mystery to me.

The thing about being an actor is that you're acting. It's not that big of a deal of to play someone different from yourself.

What I've realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I'm just, I don't think, a star. I'm an actor.

Anyone who has that weird volition to become an actor probably has a weird volition to do lots of other creative things - to write, to play music, to paint, to cook.

The thing about being an actor is that you turn into other people. You have to hide yourself a bit in order to let that other person come out.

Sometimes I think being an actor is like being a dog for a director; it's like they throw a stick, and you want to fetch it and bring it back to them. You want a pat on the head for it.

Being actors is a strange job.

I didn't intend to even become an actor. I was studying fashion, and I think acting just happened by chance. It really felt more like I was watching a movie from outside, like it was happening to someone else. It's been a great journey so far.
