As much as possible, I'd like every role to be totally different from the one before.

When I have to play the same role every day, I have the flexibility to play the character in so many different ways. It's almost like playing five different roles.

Every role affords me something different in the way of understanding, and that's really why you take these roles, not to show that thing that people talk about of showing what you can do - that has nothing to do with anything.

I am very conscious about picking my roles and make sure that they are different.

For me and for I'm sure any actor, each role is a different challenge to prepare for in a different way.

Every role is the best role you've ever got. It's the only role you have.

It's the same as any role and I find that you can't lump characters together; because they all have different life experiences, different reasons for being the way they are.

I always look so different in different roles, people are never quite sure. Which is the way I like it.

Even if I play a similar role to one I've played before, I will never play it the same, I'll always try to do something different with it.

I choose roles that are not me.
